Hi Freya,

I haven't had a chance to look for further studies, but will do so when I can. Miraca is actually the head of gifted education at the University of New South Wales here in Australia and is still well and truly involved in gifted education. Her department was responsible for putting together a training program for all Australian schools in the last few years and she made the comment when I heard her speak at a conference a year or so ago. So she's still in the thick of things and as I understand it has continued her research over the years.

The package is here if it's of any use to anyone: http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/scho...ion_professional_development_package.htm

I would second your recommendation re her book. It helped me put a few things in perspective. It would be interesting to know where those kids are now!
