At TEMA Therapy, we specialize in comprehensive evaluations for gifted and talented programs. Our team of experts uses scientifically validated tools to assess your child’s intellectual, academic, and problem-solving strengths. Whether you’re preparing for school admissions or simply want to understand your child’s potential, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Gifted and talented programs offer a challenging and enriching educational experience for students who excel beyond their peers. However, gaining admission often requires rigorous testing. These assessments typically include:
Some parents may sense that their child has unusually high intellectual abilities or exceptional aptitude in one or more academic areas. Often, these perceptions are accurate. At TEMA Therapy, we provide Testing for Gifted and Talented programs to help determine if your child qualifies for accelerated programs designed for high-achieving students. For example, the parents may initiate an application process for the John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth if they have the required results of the cognitive testing that is performed at our Center.
In New Jersey, eligibility for public school Gifted and Talented programs is determined through a comprehensive process. According to the New Jersey Department of Education:
“District boards of education shall make provisions for an ongoing K-12 identification process for gifted and talented students that includes multiple measures, including but not limited to, achievement test scores, grades, student performance or products, intelligence testing, parent, student, and/or teacher recommendation, and other appropriate measures.”
While IQ testing is just one component of the evaluation, it provides valuable insight into your child’s intellectual abilities compared to their peers.
In New York State, cognitive testing plays an even more critical role in securing placement in accelerated programs. Our psychologists are licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and their evaluations are recognized as independent psychological assessments. This is particularly beneficial for bilingual students, as our testing can help identify their strengths and eligibility for specialized programs in NYC.
