Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion New Here - First Post

At first, as a parent of a child with differences you are all agog and overwhelmed. Finding this forum is good - hopefully it will settle your nerves and the many BTDT testimonies will reassure you - it did me.

Thanks to this site I learned about the IOWA Acceleration Scale, books to suggest to my daughter, good ideas for engagement, handling challenges and many more things. I also saw success stories where kids were skipped grades and other success stories where they were not. It helps to see that you kid isn't necessarily doomed if they do not get into gifted program X etc - KWIM?

Eventually, as with everything, the 'new normal' becomes, well, normal - LOL.
