Gifted Evaluations for Children
Professional Gifted Assessments to Help Your Child Thrive
Parents often don’t realize their child may be gifted, especially when their behavior doesn’t match the typical “high-achiever” image. Additionally, parents may not be aware that a gifted evaluation can help them understand their child’s behaviors. Your child may seem easily bored, emotionally intense, highly curious, or even frustrated with school. They might ask deep, complex questions or show strong opinions at a young age. These are often signs of advanced thinking and creativity, not misbehavior or defiance.
At Insight Psychological Services, we specialize in gifted evaluations for children and adolescents to help families uncover cognitive strengths, support academic growth, and explore options for gifted program eligibility or educational enrichment.
Why Consider a Gifted Evaluation?
Parents seek gifted child testing when they notice:
-
High curiosity and deep questioning
-
Early reading, strong memory, or fast learning
-
Emotional sensitivity, perfectionism, or boredom in school
-
Uneven performance—advanced in some subjects, average or below in others
-
Concerns about school fit, underachievement, or behavioral challenges
-
Need for formal documentation to apply for gifted programs, private schools, or academic acceleration
Even if your child doesn’t “look” gifted, a professional IQ test and/or comprehensive psychological evaluation may reveal advanced potential and help guide the right educational path.
