Many myths and misinterpretations about giftedness abound
in our social climate. Parents feel caught between their child's very real needs and a bland denial of such needs on the part of many teachers, relatives and friends. "She'll grow out of it," they say. Or, "Just don't let him get too far ahead and the rest will catch up." The Gifted Development Center offers a place to turn for a reality check. Since our inception in 1979, our focus has been on all aspects of giftedness. We know about emotional issues, intensity, sensitivity, perfectionism, and the very real needs of visual-spatial learners. We know how unique gifted individuals tend to be when it comes to learning style and self expression.
