Screenings must use valid, reliable, and current testing methods, and provide evidence from at least two areas including general mental ability, academic achievement, creativity, reasoning, problem solving, and referrals. Districts must notify parents annually of the screening process and allow for review if a child does not qualify for gifted services.
