Resources:
1. A very useful book that is often used as a companion to the DVD's and SENG's parent workshop is called: A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children, by Webb, Gore, Amend and DeVries.) I'll have a copy or two you can have a look at.
With your RSVP, please indicate your portable and home numbers where you can be reached in case of an emergency.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me. Hope to see you soon.
