Children with superior intellectual capacities frequently manifest lagging skills in other areas of development. A variety of available intervention methods can help minimize the impact of developmental asynchronies on a child’s capacity to express his/her intellectual and creative gifts. This webinar features a panel comprised of a child psychologist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, special educator, behavioral analyst, and developmental optometrist, all of whom will discuss empirically supported strategies, within their respective fields, designed to target areas of challenge commonly seen among highly gifted youth.

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) youth experience much higher-than-average rates of verbal and physical harassment, parental rejection, and suicide. However, these students also have great potential for academic success, as seen by their disproportionately-high representation in programs for the gifted.
This session explains how parents, siblings, and teachers can build on these students’ potential and can diminish the effect of others’ harm.

A FREE presentation brought to you by the Northshore HiCap Advisory Board
Presented by:
Sandra Malone-Long, PhD
(Lake Washington Quest program school psychologist)
Who should go?
Parents of highly capable or “gifted” children,
especially if that child has some sort of unique challenge
such as perfectionism, anxiety, intense emotions, a visual-spatial learning style, or a disability of any sort.
(Note that these are VERY common in gifted kids, so this talk would apply to pretty much everyone)
Description:
In this presentation you will learn characteristics of gifted learners with unique learning needs and styles.
Parents will learn the level of interventions possible in the school and home setting.
We will focus on the need for team collaboration and targeted interventions.
Noted is the importance of the “home and school environment.”
Most important is for students, educational staff, and parents to be able to identify the “markers of success.”
