    About this ebook

    Parents of brainy kids can understand what's behind IQ testing and selection for special school programs with this guide to gifted education. Written by an IQspecialist,this guide details the history of IQ tests and how they measure intelligence, and familiarizes parents with signs of giftedness they can look for in their own children. Acknowledging that some bright and gifted kids can reach their full potential in a regular classroom, a detailed analysis of how gifted programs work helps parents decide which gifted programs, if any, are right for their children. A section on twice-exceptional, or “2E” kids, shows parents how to recognize signs of learning disabilities in their otherwise bright or achieving kids and how to access school support for those particular problems.

    David Palmer

    David Palmer was born in New Zealand and currently lives there. An adventurous disposition has taken him to many places, and a perversely romantic impulse has led him to eke out a living as a freelance writer. He is amazed and grateful that his wife and son still put up with him. He has had articles published on innumerable subjects as well as one book, Walking Historic Auckland, an anecdotal history of the city. Due out is a non-fiction work concerning RAF aircrew in World War II. David has lectured and published on spiritual matters, motivated by a range of out-there experiences that defy science. Some get into Refuse Generation. He has an unfashionable enthusiasm for metaphysics and an unlikely expertise in military history. He believes that history matters, that if love isn’t the answer then it’s a very good question, and that the relationship between spirituality, religion and science is disastrously misunderstood. He wants to change the world, doubts that it’s possible, but decided to make a start by encouraging people to think for themselves.
