  7. Nickole – LEANDER ISD (verified owner) –

    This is an invaluable resource. All parents need to have the opportunity to review this material. Even if their child has not been identified as G&T, they may learn that they (the parent) are. This too is important to know when raising children.

    Great content and presentation. Opened my mind to planning for the future. I wonder if gifted kids can be only a few of the OE factors?
