Advanced Development Journal has just released Volume 11: Social Issues of the Gifted!

Since we sent out our Call for Manuscripts, we have been excited to receive a remarkably international response. Never before have we had so many authors based outside the US or writing about situations in other countries. It is clear the “social issues of the gifted” know no boundaries: difficulties with fitting in, developing positive self-esteem, and finding social support are cross-cultural. It’s not easy being gifted.

Testing for Twice Exceptionalities

The Gifted Development Center is pleased to announce that we are now offering testing for twice exceptionalities. This service is provided by Helen McVicar, longtime tester for the GDC. Helen is licensed by the Colorado Department of Education as a School Psychologist and her professional experience includes 12 years working in public schools conducting comprehensive assessments, and providing direct services, crisis management, applied behavior analysis and consultation. She has worked for the GDC as a Professional Associate for more than eight years providing assessments and acting as the site coordinator of a Stanford-Binet 5 discriminant validation study. She worked for several years testing children for Dr. George Dorry of the Attention and Behavior Center before his retirement. Helen holds an MBA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from City University of New York and completed a Post-Masters Licensure Program in School Psychology at Marywood University.

As she has become more interested in twice exceptional and learning disabilities, Helen has recently completed the School Neuropsychology Post-Graduate Certification Program and received a Diplomate by the American Board of School Neuropsychology (ABSNP). In addition to cognitive, academic and social/emotional assessment, she can now consider attention, memory and executive functioning.
