"A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children"

Attention Parents of GATE Identified Students:

Parents are a child's first teacher, and parents continue to be teachers throughout the child's life.  However, to be effective teachers and advocates, parents themselves continually need sources of information and support.  This is none more true than for parents of gifted children.

"A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children," with Dr. James T. Webb will be held Wednesday, February 28, 2007 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Fontana High School.  The presentation is open to parents of GIFTED students.  For more information, contact the FUSD Special Projects Office at (909) 357-5000, ext. 7118.

James T. Webb, Ph.D., ABPP-CL, has been recognized as one of the 25 most influential psychologists nationally on gifted education.  In 1981, Dr. Webb established SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted Children, Inc.), a national nonprofit organization that provides information, training, conferences and workshops, and he remains on its Board of Directors as Director Emeritus.  A frequent keynote and workshop speaker at state and national conventions, Dr. Webb, a licensed psychologist, is board certified as a Diplomat in Clinical Psychology.

Dr. Webb is the lead author of five books, three of which have won awards, and two of which have just been published.
