GiftedNYS is excited to share an opportunity to participate in a research study. We are proud to partner with education researchers at New York Medical College and the Westchester Institute for Human Development to learn more about the experiences of parents and caregivers of gifted and twice-exceptional students in New York State.
|
Below is a message from the study’s lead researcher, Dr. Jenna Lequia, which includes a link to a brief, anonymous survey. We encourage you to take this opportunity to share your experiences. The survey link is broadly shareable, and if you know others in your networks who may be a good fit, we encourage you to share it with them as well. We at GiftedNYS are hopeful for robust participation and that the findings may contribute to a clearer understanding of how families experience public education systems across New York State.

Sincerely,
