Assessments and Testing for enrollment

Understanding your child's unique strengths and challenges is the first step in understanding how to support their journey.
At Baywood Learning Center we feel it is vitally important that parents of gifted children have access to professional psychologists and clinicians who understand the needs and behaviors of gifted children.  It is an unfortunate fact that many gifted children are misdiagnosed with ADD, ADHD and non-existent learning disabilities caused by inappropriate environmental factors.  Only an experienced professional, with a working knowledge of gifted children, is qualified to discern the difference between a specific pathology and certain behaviors in gifted children that are caused by an inappropriate learning environment.  Baywood wants to help you access the most qualified and experienced clinicians for your children.  Fill out the form below and we will refer you to the appropriate clinician.

Qualitative Assessment (QA)
A Way to Gain a Deeper Understanding of your childs inner World for Emotional Support
QA uses a unique approach to evaluating for giftedness, by assessing the emotional as well as intellectual characteristics to determine giftedness.  Central to this process is understanding the child's inner world, based on insights from parents and schools, together with the psychological experience and expertise of the certified QA practitioner.  QA arives at an IQ number which is accepted by Baywood Learning Center as an accurate measurement and it offers a more holistic approach toward planning, designing, and providing for education programs that nourish the inner agenda, interests, emotional development, and unique needs of the child.
