Highly Gifted Children
Description
 
 
"The Hollingworth Center is a national support and resource network focused on the needs of highly gifted children. A non-profit corporation, was founded by Kathi Kearney as a parent support group, in the belief that highly gifted children and their families need not feel isolated. The Center primarily serves as a clearinghouse of information and events concerning the needs of highly gifted children. The Center was named in honor of Dr. Leta Hollingworth, who conducted one of the first pioneering studies of exceptionally gifted children, their social/emotional needs and how best to educate them. ...The Hollingworth Center is governed by a Board of Directors elected from the membership at the Annual Conference meeting."
