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.

A gifted child test is a specialized gifted assessment used to understand a child’s abilities across reasoning, verbal skills, pattern recognition, and overall cognitive strengths. These formal assessments help determine whether a child meets criteria for a gifted program, enrichment programs, or advanced learning paths. By examining a child’s cognitive abilities and learning profile, families gain a clearer picture of how to support both academic achievement and emotional needs.
Gifted testing provides quantitative measures such as IQ score, academic achievement data, and rating scales that many districts, gifted education programs, and private school admissions teams require. Test results help decision-makers evaluate whether a student is performing above grade level, shows gifted characteristics, or demonstrates strengths in a specific subject area. Families can use the testing results to advocate for appropriate interventions, enrichment programs, or a higher level learning environment that supports the child’s unique needs.
All gifted assessments are conducted by a licensed psychologist or trained professional experienced in evaluating gifted students and gifted learners. After testing is complete, the clinician reviews the standardized test data, rating scales, and achievement testing scores to produce a clear learning profile. You will receive test results explained in detail, along with follow-up questions answered and guidance on your child’s educational needs.
Parents often seek gifted testing when they notice signs of giftedness such as advanced abilities in language arts or math, rapid pattern recognition, strong problem-solving skills, or a long attention span in areas of interest. Gifted kids may also ask complex questions at an early age, master basic skills quickly, or show deep curiosity about a specific subject area. A gifted child test helps clarify whether these behaviors align with gifted characteristics or accelerated learning needs.
