๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ September 11, 2001 โ€” a day forever etched in our hearts.

Today, The Gifted Collective pauses to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward to help others.

We remember the families whose lives were forever changed.

We remember the heroes who ran toward danger.

We remember the strength, compassion, and unity shown by communities across our nation.

As educators, we also recognize the importance of helping the next generation understand the significance of this dayโ€”not only the tragedy, but also the courage, service, sacrifice, and humanity that followed.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

๐ŸŒŸ Smart Kids Need Friends Who Understand Them, Too!

Does your gifted or twice-exceptional child sometimes struggle to connect with peers, manage emotions, navigate friendships, or understand social situations?

Our Childrenโ€™s Social Skills Group was created with these unique learners in mind. This isnโ€™t a one-size-fits-all social skills classโ€”itโ€™s designed for gifted and 2e children who may also have autism, autism traits, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or other learning differences.

๐Ÿ’™ What makes this program different?

Small group. Consistent peers. Specialized support. A place where children can practice social skills while being understood for who they are.

Children will work on:
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Communication and perspective-taking
๐Ÿค Friendships and peer relationships
๐Ÿง  Emotional awareness and regulation
๐Ÿ’ฌ Handling conflict and misunderstandings
๐ŸŒฑ Self-advocacy and self-understanding

Meanwhile, parents participate in a FREE concurrent Parent Support Groupโ€”because supporting the child also means supporting the parent!
