Please read this document carefully before your child's assessment. By scheduling and participating in services with Gifted Testing Colorado, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms below.
Purpose of the Assessment
Gifted Testing Colorado provides independent cognitive assessments to help families and schools understand a child's cognitive abilities for the purpose of gifted program consideration. These are educational evaluations only and are not intended as clinical diagnoses.
Assessment Process
Your child will complete one or more standardized cognitive assessments, such as the WPPSI-IV (for younger children) or the WISC-V (for school-age children), administered by Kaitlin Smith, EdS, Licensed School Psychologist. Testing typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the child's age and the assessments selected. Breaks are provided as needed.
Following the session, a written report summarizing results, observations, and relevant recommendations will be prepared and provided to you.
Voluntary Participation
Participation is entirely voluntary. You may withdraw your child from the assessment at any time. If testing is discontinued before completion, a partial report may or may not be possible depending on how much was completed, and fees may still apply.
Confidentiality
Information gathered during the assessment and the resulting report are confidential. They will not be shared with any third party without your written consent, except as required by law or professional ethical standards, for example if there is a concern about the health or safety of your child or others.
You may choose to share the report with your child's school or other professionals. Once shared, Gifted Testing Colorado is not responsible for how that information is used or maintained by third parties.
Fees and Payment
Assessment fees will be discussed and confirmed in writing prior to your appointment. Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise agreed upon. Please review the cancellation policy in the Terms and Conditions.
Use of Results
Assessment results reflect your child's performance on standardized measures at the time of testing and should be considered alongside other knowledge about your child. As described in our Disclaimer, gifted program placement decisions are made solely by school districts and are not guaranteed by assessment results.
Questions
You are welcome to ask questions before, during, or after the assessment. Please contact Kaitlin Smith at GiftedTestingCO@gmail.com or 970-231-0734 with any questions or concerns.
