Giftedness is not limited by gender, ethnicity, language, or socio-economic condition. Additional testing may be possible through certified psychologists or through pilot programs for special populations. As of the spring of 1994, the University of Arizona and Amphitheater District are engaged in the development of a new strategy for assessing students for gifted programs. This is a pilot study offered only in target schools. Referrals Students may be referred for testing by teachers, a parent, other students, psychologists, or they may refer themselves.
Referral forms are available at each school site.
All students who are referred are tested unless they have taken the same exam within the last two years. Free Spirit Publishing, 1987. Growing up Gifted Elkind, David.
