SENG has a brochure to provide info to healthcare providers and parents. I gave it to DS's pediatric allergist, since there is a high incidence of gifted kids with allergies. She was great and we talked about it for a bit. I should request more to bring along at every peds visit. They're pretty basic, though, but it would be nice if a professional community that sees your kids before school could offer some advice when warranted.
