Review Quotes:
"This manual is essential for current facilitators of the SENG Model Parent Groups and individuals interested in becoming a facilitator. It would also be useful background for school personnel who are considering providing discussion groups as part of their parent education...Those school personnel who are worried about bringing parents of gifted children together will be reassured to learn that the SENG parent discussions are neither therapy groups nor advocacy groups and often contribute to better parent school communication leading to more understanding of the separate roles of home and school in the lives of gifted children." -- Judy Smith, Gifted Education Communicator
