The definitive manual on gifted advocacy, this book takes parents and teachers from documenting a child's abilities to providing reasonable educational options year by year. The necessity for daily accommodations in regular instruction (not just enrichment pull-outs) is emphasized by the children themselves--in case studies and their own accounts.

Learn about the problems and solutions for gifted students:

  • The Experience of Giftedness
  • What do we Mean by "Gifted"?
  • Testing Considerations
  • Curriculum and Instruction
  • Underachievement
  • Successful Programs
  • Models of Advocacy for Parents
  • Teachers of the Gifted
  • Planning Your Child's Program

Bobbie Gilman   Barbara ("Bobbie") Gilman, M.S., Associate Director, holds degrees in Child Development and Psychology, and has extensive experience testing gifted children, making educational recommendations, working with the highly gifted, and gifted children with learning disabilities, AD/HD, or underachievement issues.  She trains testers, supervises reports, and consults with parents worldwide.  A mother of highly gifted sons, she is a veteran of gifted committees, helped create an accelerated charter middle school, and is a popular speaker for parents and teachers on advocacy and classroom accommodations for the gifted.  This coming year, Bobbie will be writing and speaking extensively on the appropriate use and scoring of the newly revised and renormed major IQ tests with gifted children.  Since the release of  her book, Empowering Gifted Minds: Educational Advocacy That Works, she is devoting more of her time to School Advocacy Consultation, helping parents to document the unique instructional needs of their gifted student, find curricular options that meet the child's needs, and negotiate with school personnel for programming accommodations.
