Day-care centres: If you feel your child or children in your care may be very bright or gifted and, as a result may have special social, emotional, behavioural or learning needs, please do consider speaking with John. Early intervention is essential if gifted or very able children are to achieve to their full potential. The right interventions can ensure that longer term disadvantage is minimised or that strengths are supported. Children often need help to achieve to their full potential. John can work in day-care centres assisting staff (and management) to understand some of the complex issues relating to the social, emotional, behavioural and intellectual complexities of high ability. Alternatively, he can work directly with parents and children. There may be no costs to day-care centres wishing John to work with centre owners, managers or staff.
