Educational Advocacy for
Gifted and Talented Students
Maryland, Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia

The expert educational consultants at (WEG) have years of experience directing gifted programs and working in the field of gifted education. We understand that when navigating public school systems or private schools in order to discover and understand the many options available for gifted and talented children, the choices are not always clear. WEG can assist you in clarifying the different options, understanding the various programs, and facilitating the application process, empowering you to make the best choices for each child. We are also available to accompany parents to any needed meetings in order to advocate for the appropriate services for meeting your child's advanced and unique cognitive and affective needs. Differentiating among myriad options, competitive opportunities, and magnet programs can be challenging. Let us work with you so you can make the best decisions to help your child reach his or her potential.

Our expert gifted education consultants help parents and school staff by:

• Providing information on local and national public and private gifted education and talent development opportunities, including magnet and center programs.
• Assessing children to identify their strengths and interests, in order to help parents and teachers identify appropriate public and private opportunities for gifted education classes, services and programs.
• Advocating at school meetings for appropriate gifted services, classes and programs.
• Navigating the program application and selection process including appeals.
