New Paths for The Intellectually Talented
Gifted Assessments
Does your child grasp concepts quickly? Do they make abstract connections to information? If yes, a Gifted Assessment can help identify and support a child's or adolescent's hidden gifts.
All children have the capacity and potential for learning and the verbalizations, actions, and connections they create remind us of this inherent gift. Some children process information quickly and make connections that are beyond what would be expected for their age. Some children seem disengaged with learning, underachieve academically, have a fear of failure, or demonstrate disruptive classroom behaviours. Could they be intellectually gifted?SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT CONTACT US
