What about the family? While literature on gifted students describes a family's impact as considerable, influential, and vital to children's social, emotional, and academic growth, information is limited on how counselors can serve this population. This multimedia presentation aids attendees in conceptualizing gifted families and fosters understanding of the unique social, emotional, and developmental challenges of gifted students and families. Presenters describe interventions to facilitate counselors' work with gifted learners and their support systems, and engage the audience in dialogue and activities to improve counselor effectiveness.
