Could this be GATE?
I randomly came across this board today and it's kind of freaking me out. I was put into a "gifted" program in the mid to late 80s. The only memory of it I have is that I was singled out as being independent while all the other kids were in a group. I have one memory of sitting at a table by myself behind some sort of partition and working on some kind of activity while a larger group of kids were on the other side doing things together.
I also have very little memory of my life before age 10, which happens to be when we moved to another state. I was not in a gifted program after moving. I've always thought my lack of memory might have been related to some sort of trauma, but never thought it could be related to being in this gifted program.
I dug up a file with old records my mom had saved. I found this handbook in the picture and some IEP records which stated I was receiving services due to psychological testing that indicated an exceptional level of intelligence.
I guess my question is, does this handbook look familiar to anyone, and could this have been related to the GATE program? None of the records mention the GATE program, and I've never heard of it before stumbling upon this subreddit. I have heard of the Gateway tapes and recently started listening to the very first recordings.
