I am absolutely in love with my gifted and talented training. I have been intrigued with so many things. I have been learning so much from all of my courses. I really enjoyed the Nature and Needs of the Gifted and learning about the brain was very cool. Module 5 was great info along with learning about perfectionism in the gifted is going to be super useful in the years to come. I love all the resources Lisa Van Gemert provides!
