Here are some of the books our parents have found especially useful in their journey of helping their gifted child and helping others help their gifted child. Copies will be available to skim Saturdays in the Bruin Café.
After an concerted effort to participate in Amazon’s affiliate program, we have found a better partner in Bookshop.org. More of your purchase price will financially aid The Program while also benefiting local booksellers. Some links go directly to the small publisher like Gifted Unlimited and Routledge.
