Understanding Gifted Testing: More Than Just High Grades

Many parents are told their child seems “advanced for their age,” but aren’t sure what that means — or whether it matters. Gifted testing provides clarity by identifying a child’s advanced intellectual or academic potential.

Giftedness Isn’t Just High Grades

Gifted children often show deep curiosity, strong creativity, or rapid learning, but they may also experience boredom, perfectionism, or emotional intensity. Understanding their profile helps parents and teachers nurture both potential and balance.

Why Gifted Evaluations Matter

  • They help schools determine eligibility for gifted programs.

  • They identify strengths and growth areas to guide enrichment.

  • They ensure advanced learners stay challenged — not discouraged.

What to Expect

Dr. Vera uses standardized cognitive and achievement measures to understand each child’s intellectual profile. Evaluations are warm, engaging, and focused on celebrating how your child learns best.

“Giftedness isn’t about being better — it’s about learning differently. Testing helps us understand that difference and guide it well.”
