Northwest Gifted Child Association
The purpose of Northwest Gifted Child Association is to inform the public of the special needs of gifted children by:
- supporting and informing parents of the unique characteristics and academic, social and emotional needs of gifted children;
- disseminating information;
- encouraging the development and maintenance of programs responsive to the needs of gifted children;
- supporting legislative efforts on behalf of gifted children; and by
- supporting any policies or practices which promote these programs.
Chartered in 1963, NWGCA is a statewide, nonprofit organization of people with an interest in meeting the special needs of highly capable children.
It offers support, advice, and resources to parents who need their school districts to provide appropriate services for gifted children as well as these same services for parents who want to hone their parenting of gifted skills.
