Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Regions International Australia

Hello everyone,

We have received quite a few public requests from parents in Australia recently, and we decided to create this part of the forum to provide a starting point for those directed to this forum. Please feel free to post here if you have anything to add. Also, feel free to create a new thread for any other country or region.

To start things off, here are a few gifted organizations that may be of interest to those in Australia:

GERRIC at University of New South Wales (https://education.arts.unsw.edu.au/about-us/gerric/) is one of the leading gifted education research organizations and they offer programs for gifted students (https://education.arts.unsw.edu.au/about-us/gerric/for-gifted-students/).

Gifted and Creative Services Australia (http://www.davidsongifted.org/db/Resources_id_12317.aspx)

World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (http://www.world-gifted.org/)

There is a Gifted Families yahoo discussion group from which some may have learned about the DITD forums: http://au.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/giftedfamilies/info

Possibly some from the forums may also be interested in the yahoo group?

Can those of us in NZ share?

Of course! Feel free to post in this thread or start a new one.
