CBE - Gate Program:
Westmount Charter School:
An intake session will be conducted to gain background information on the student, followed by psychometric testing (i.e., cognitive testing). After analyzing the data, the clinician will review the results. A report will be written if the student is identified as a gifted learner. If a student is not identified as a gifted learner, then the guardian can decide if they would like a written report during the feedback session.
**For Gifted Assessments (Westmount): A report will only be completed if a student is identified as a gifted learner (Full-Scale IQ = 130 +/- 5). If the student is not identified as gifted, the legal guardian can choose whether they would like a written report to be provided during the feedback session.**
