Announcement
Behind my back I heard them whisper, "What does she have to worry about? Her kid is gifted!"
In a world full of heart-tugging causes, it can be a real challenge to get attention for the needs of gifted individuals. After all, a gifted child looks just like any other healthy child.
The constant misunderstandings gifted kids and adults have to deal with in the "real world" is heartbreaking at times. A great amount of talent is lost, many gifted individuals suffer emotionally, and all too many are misdiagnosed as ADHD or other disorders.

Has SENG made a difference in your life? "Growing up on the front lines of the competitive chess world, I watched scores of gifted children being treated like machines, their emotional needs neglected by impatient teachers, parents and peers. SENG is fighting a battle of immense importance. Each child deserves to be loved and listened to as they discover their own path to self-expression. I am honored to team up with SENG in helping our children pursue their dreams by embracing their uniqueness of being." |
