Who is a Gifted Child?
Research tells us that parents are the best identifiers of gifted children. If you are not sure if your child is gifted, try some of these resources:

- to provide gifted homeschoolers with the opportunity to network and exchange ideas and resources
- to increase awareness of homeschooling as a viable educational alternative for gifted children
- to advocate for gifted homeschoolers as needed
- to network with other education-related entities in support of these goals

Gifted Education Communicator is a quarterly journal on topics of interest and benefit to parents and educators. The CAG Newsletter, Intercom, is now an electronic quarterly newsletter sent to all CAG members in a downloadable format. Thus it is most important that we have current email addresses for all of our members. CAG members will also receive periodic notification of educational opportunities and matters of legislative urgency. Darleen Saunders, CAG Capitol Region Parent Representative, darleensun@aol.com
