She may be, you may even be biased.
Til you find out, keep supplying what she needs to exercise that talent(Math, Music, Expressing, Solving). What does she do?
Did a google search "Is my kid gifted" and came up with many, but no experience with any. Good Luck
I got my goddaughter to ride a bike with no training wheels when she turned 3, did a search and found a kid dit it at 2, I would have worked harder if I had known.
Also, when she just turned three, had her able to go to control panel, appearance and themes and then screen saver, then fish, she couldn't read any of the words, but would say the words as she clicked on each step, click and drag took 3 minutes by holding each hand and showing, she would click and drag all Pink fish in to the Aquarium, then Apply. I think she is extra special. I am biased. but others feel she is super smart as well. I just feed her what she needs. She's 5 now. She has had a Guitar, keyboard, harmonica, flutes, others and tried each, if it is something she she enjoys, she will play with
Righ now Art seem like something she enjoys.
She sings and harmonizes with songs as well.
The google search will help.
its math mostly. she is behind in everything except math. in math she is ahead. she starts kindergarden this year and she is alreayd doing 2nd grade math with me at home. i could be biased however :P
ill probalby just end up waiting for the school to tell me.
Gifted children are typically only catagorized as gifted if they excel in most all areas of school. They are often not catagorized as gifted until following Kindergarten as well. Often school will let you know if they believe that your child has gifted abilities, but if she is behind in other areas, they will not recommend gifted classes, as she will suffer and only fall further behind in all other areas. Often classes have different levels for reading and math as many students absorb the information at different levels in these two subjects.
EDIT: I thought your education was in early childhood development, this should be information they explore in your education. You can only hinder a child by pushing them beyond their capabilities.
good point justwantitfair, with her behind in reading and speech she most likely will not be put in the giften program (called s.a.g.e here) just for math.
My son was the same, excelled in math but was behind in everything else.
The gifted program is for children that are ahead in everything, not just one subject.
Also, if she's behind in reading and speech, math will become harder once the problem solving involves reading the question, not just the numbers.
With her ADHD and aspergers it's best to take things slow, make sure she's in the right programs to get all the help she needs now so she doesn't fall behind once she's in school.
