[Ohiogift] Early entrance to kindergarten assessment

[Colleen Boyle, PhD]

Yes, it is.  Having said that, the IAS also says right at the beginning that acceleration shouldn't be considered if the IQ score is below a 115 or if the total of the ratings for the aptitude, achievement, and ability scores is less than 10. So, depending on the child's tested ability, a modified process may be very appropriate.  (This should be child specific and based on objective criteria, not at a district whim.)
