Professional Organizations and Support Groups

The New Jersey Association for Gifted Children (NJAGC) is the statewide gifted organization. Their mission is to promote excellence and leadership in gifted education through appropriate programs, resource networks, and community advocacy. I really encourage you to join this organization. It’s our strongest ally in New Jersey. www.njagc.org

The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) is an organization of parents, educators, other professionals and community leaders to address the unique needs of children and youth. Membership includes a subscription to Parenting for High Potential, a magazine with articles geared to the development of talent. www.nagc.org

The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) is the largest international professional organization dedicated to improving educational outcomes for individuals with exceptionalities, students with disabilities, and/or the gifted. www.cec.sped.org

The Association for the Gifted (TAG) organized in 1958 by The Council for Exceptional Children, helps professionals and parents work with gifted children. www.cectag.org

Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) works to offer support and guidance to the gifted community, through education, research, and connection. With the right intellectual and emotional support, gifted people can accept themselves and fulfill the potential of their incredible capabilities. And, perhaps more importantly, they can learn to work with their high sensitivities to feel balanced, happy, and at peace. www.SENGifted.org
