Lecture focuses gifted children and adultsParents, educators and community members are invited to attend an evening session with Dr. Nadia Webb, a Clinical Neuropsychologist who has published extensively in the area of the brain and how it works.
Dr. Webb’s most recent book was co-authored with Dr. James Webb (founder of SENG, Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted). Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults has received high praise and much attention in the field.
On Jan. 21, Dr. Webb will share her research and experiences related to gifted minds and the brains that house them. Are there basic biological differences in the way gifted brains organize or function? Are there left and right-brained people? Do we really use 10% of our brain’s capacity? Are gifted children really more likely to have Asperger's or autism because of their brain differences? How do we make sense of gifted children with "quirky wiring," such as gifted and learning disabled, ADD, or "emotionally troubled?"
Dr. Webb will present the state of the literature and will direct interested participants toward appropriate resources for more detailed information.
