SENG presents:

The Search for Shangri-La: Finding the Appropriate Educational Environment for Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Children

In the modern era of NCLB (No Child Left Behind) with its emphasis on 'bringing up the rear,' locating an appropriate setting dedicated to the holistic (not just academic) needs of the gifted, and especially, twice-exceptional child is akin to finding the Holy Grail. 

Regrettably, even with the best of intentions, most schools cannot properly accommodate the educational needs of the gifted or 2e child, much less provide for them an avenue to build the solid emotional foundation needed for meaningful growth. So, what is a family to do?


 Fee: $30.00 for SENG Members;  

$40.00 for Non-Members

Registration required by 2:00 pm on September 8. Click here for complete details.
