The AGTS will soon post an original article on this subject written by a local professional addressing gifted education in our community.  In the interim, you can find a great deal of useful information on this topic at the National Association for Gifted Children (NAG) web site linked below.  We also recommend the "Cheetah" and "Dr. Seuss" articles listed on the sidebar.  They clearly highlight many of the difficulties inherent to identifying and nurturing gifted children; and use an easy to read fun style.
