The AGM will be preceded by the Dr Kate Burton's presentation that will commence at 5:45pm. 

Gifted and twice-exceptional children are 'wired differently'. This welcoming and informative event will explain the reasons behind the behavioural challenges that neurodiverse children often experience, both in the classroom and at home. Whether they are riddled with anxiety or display outward defiance or aggression, this talk will provide an overview of how neurodiverse children experience the world and the implications of this on their emotional regulation and learning. We'll then look at practical strategies that can be implemented so you'll feel more empowered to respond effectively to your child and the world that overwhelms them. 

Kind regards,

Melissa Morrison

Gifted WA Secretary
