A Roundtable Discussion led by Hollie Sobel


To Test Or Not To Test

The “When,” “What,” “How,” and “Who” of Testing 

Your Gifted Child


November 16, 2017 - 7PM – 8:30PM

Buzz Cafe, 905 S Lombard Oak Park, IL


Gifted children can be complicated.  One definition of giftedness labels them with a learning difference.  The key to educating them, and sometimes living with them, can be understanding the nature of that difference.  Often testing is the answer, though there are many tests and many testers and getting the right ones is vital in order to get useful answers. 


This roundtable will help you understand:

  • When it might be helpful to take your child in for testing
  • What kinds of testing is available and what questions each test attempts to answer
  • How testing results can be used to impact educational outcomes or familial relationships
  • How to seek a good assessment of your gifted child

Our discussion will be led by Hollie Sobel, Ph.D. Hollie is a licensed clinical psychologist with Psychological Assessment, Consultation & Treatment (PACT) in both Chicago and Northbrook. Prior to this position, she was a faculty member at Rush University Medical Center and The Family Institute at Northwestern University. She has extensive experience in conducting psychological evaluations.  Hollie has worked with gifted children in the areas of both assessment and treatment. She has also helped families to select appropriate school settings, and develop educational programming for their gifted children.
