The journey from preschool to independent adulthood can present a tricky route to navigate when you are the parent or caregiver of a gifted or multi-exceptional child. The job of advocating for these children is not about providing the ’perfect’ education, but about making the best choices within the given constraints.

Starting with the earliest school years, this book provides caregivers with the resources they will need to positively advocate for their gifted child and to help their child become a strong self-advocate. Full of practical tips, this book answers questions such as: How can I meet other parents raising kids like mine?, Why can’t schools meet the needs of my child?, How can I productively communicate with the educational team?, and more!

Providing expert guidance on collecting resources, expanding your network, and practicing and modeling positive advocacy skills, this book will empower caregivers of gifted of twice-exceptional children to trust their instincts and understand their options when it comes to their children’s education.
