“Watching our 2e child develop so differently from the other kids can feel so isolating. Finally discovering that we're not the only ones has been game-changing!” -Parent 

Featured Resource

Who: Matthew “Dr. Matt” Zakreski, Psy.D.
Why we love it: This wonderful new book shines a light on the unseen challenges that high-IQ kids sometimes face. Dr. Matt — a clinical child psychologist, host of the new Nerding Out on Neurodiversity Podcast, and self-described "grown-up gifted kid" — has distilled years of research, deep insights, and tons of practical advice into an accessible guide for navigating the social-emotional side of giftedness.
