A 132 on the Stanford Benet would not qualify. IQ cut-off would be 3 standard deviations above the mean.
HEROES runs a number of academic and social programs for the profoundly gifted including an annual conference and a writing talent search. Some of the people that will be attending the party will be faculty and administrators from Rutgers, Monmouth and Johns Hopkins Universities as well as representatives from other programs like ROGATE. We have worked with Rutgers to create programs that make it easier for kids to take classes there and are working to develop programs to help the kids get involved in research. We awarded $1500 in scholarships at our recent Writing Talent Search, helped a team of 13-15 year olds compete in an undergraduate math competition and are working to offer our first on-line classes that will allow kids to explore Sci-Fi Fantasy as literature and develop elements for their own piece of writing.
Many families find that just meeting other profoundly gifted kids to be very valuable for support and social opportunities.
