Parent Resources

I thought it might be nice to post some common resources for parents of gifted children:
National Association for Gifted Children http://www.nagc.org/

FLorida Association for the Gifted http://www.flagifted.org/


What can you do as a parent of a gifted child? You have to be vocal and make your platform known to your local school district. We have an advanced academics program in our district because 1 parent refused to accept the existing curriculum for her child. Right now we are putting together a secondary years IB program and organizng an IB Booster Club to support it. It is actually being paid for by community donations. None of that would be possible without parents taking the lead!
