Welcome to NWGCA
The Northwest Gifted Child Association is a support and advocacy organization for parents of gifted children. Organized in 1963, 20 years before the state legislature provided grant money to school districts for gifted education programs, NWGCA provides support and information to parents of gifted children. It continues to help parents enhance their parenting of gifted skills and hone their skills to speak out for an appropriate gifted education to deal with this learning difference we call giftedness.
Members of NWGCA receive a newsletter three times a year, are kept informed about upcoming events, get discounts to conferences, are involved in speaking up for gifted education with policy makers, and are linked with other parents and gifted education leaders. NWGCA works with individual families, talking with them by phone and through emails, providing appropriate referrals and resources.
No one is more effective at educating educators and policy makers about the traits of giftedness than informed parents. If your child is gifted or you believe your child is gifted, you need to be a member of Northwest Gifted Child Association.
