About this title

Synopsis:

A solid education plan is like a puzzle, but this book can help you put all of the pieces together for your gifted child. A one-size-fits-all approach to education often doesn’t work, particularly with gifted children, who differ greatly in both ability levels and learning styles. Schools seldom have all of the information or resources they need to provide appropriate educational programs for children who are gifted, and parents often need to negotiate for an education plan—even if the child is already in a gifted program, since many of these programs fall short. Dr. Rogers guides parents through the process of making that happen and describes several recommended models for acceleration and enrichment. She also explains educational options and their benefits for different types of children so that you can match the right program to your child.
