What is a CHAT Night? 

Connect. Help. Advocate. Talk.

CHAT Nights are dedicated to informally connecting parents of gifted children, helping them find other parents in similar situations with an ear to listen, experiences to share, and solutions to offer. The format of CHAT Nights is intended to be casual, rather than structured.

As parents of GT and 2E children, understanding the idea of neurodiversity and how neurodivergent and neurotypical students differ provides a lens through which to see your child.  This workshop helps ground parents in understanding neurodiversity, social skills, learning styles, and emotional regulation to help parent our GT and 2E children better. When we meet our kids where they are and work with them to build their strengths and develop their weaknesses, they not only feel better, but they do better too.

In gifted education, an important issue that has yet to be sufficiently addressed is the systemic underrepresentation of gifted students who have been left out of school-based advanced learner programs. 

The book study is intended to help educators move closer to ensuring equity, access and excellence in gifted education. Each chapter we will study includes key takeaways intended to help educators engage students in conversation and to develop their self-advocacy skills.

Welcome to your new community
