NEW VERSION OF ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT NOW AVAILABLE

Advanced Development, the only journal on gifted adults, was initiated by the Institute for the Study of Advanced Development (ISAD) in 1989, as a professional refereed publication. For the last 25 years, it has been an e-journal. Hex 24 Press is partnering with the ISAD to reproduce all our previous issues with a new cover design. The new version of ADJ will debut on October 20th at the Colorado Association for Gifted Children Conference in Loveland, Colorado, (https://www.coloradogifted.org/events/conference/) where Hex 24 Press and Gifted Development Center/ISAD will share a booth. It will also be available at the National Association for Gifted Children Conference in Milwaukee, WI, in November.
