We would like to have more information and links specifically dealing with home education for parents with these very special kids. If you know of a site that deals with this home education subject or would like to post an article about this subject, please let us know . Preference is given to pages with content, not just lists of links. Personal stories are very powerful and can provide untold support to folks who may be going down a road you have already travelled. Why Challenged and Gifted Resources are on the same page: In your webmaster's search for web-info on this subject, she found that, in many cases, challenges and special giftings occur with the same child; thus, you may have a child with a 160 IQ who can't sit still or focus on anything for more than 30 seconds. Since none of us nor our children fit neatly into little cookie-cutter packages, it was thought best to have both in one place for your convenience.
