Gifted Testing Colorado offers professional, independent educational testing and cognitive evaluations for children aiming for gifted program identification, advanced learning plan (ALP) qualification, accelerated coursework placement, or a deeper understanding of their learning profile. I'm Kaitlin Smith, EdS, a Licensed School Psychologist, and I collaborate closely with each family from the initial conversation through to the final report.
The Assessments I Offer
I administer the two cognitive assessments that Colorado schools rely on for gifted identification: the WPPSI-IV for children ages 2½ through 7 years 7 months, and the WISC-V for children ages 6 through 16. Both assessments yield a Full-Scale IQ score alongside detailed index scores in verbal comprehension, visual-spatial reasoning, fluid reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. These assessments are recognized by most Colorado school districts as part of the evidence needed for giftedness assessment.
What's Included — Flat Fee of $500
Each evaluation comes at a single flat fee of $500. This includes the complete assessment session, scoring, interpretation, and a written report that you can submit to your child's school or retain for your records. There are no hidden charges or per-hour billing.
Who Gifted Testing Is For
Families seek my services for various reasons: to qualify their child for gifted programs and accelerated placement, to obtain a second opinion after school-based screening, to understand a twice-exceptional (2e) child's profile, or simply to gain insight into a bright child's cognitive strengths. Whether your child is being considered for an ALP, applying to a gifted magnet, or if you are a homeschool family seeking documentation for 2e school placement, an independent evaluation provides the objective data you need.
Serving Families Across Colorado
I work with families throughout the state, including the Denver metro area, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and surrounding communities. Scheduling is straightforward — reach out by phone or email, and I'll respond promptly with availability and next steps.
