Losing Our Minds: Gifted Children Left Behind  download pdf http://dloadbooks.xyz/?book=0910707707 Highly and profoundly gifted children have typical behaviors in early childhood! Written for parents and teachers who work with gifted children, this book describes behaviors of children who are measured at the highest ranges of intelligence. The data indicate many more of these children than previously thought, and show that current tests usually underestimate their abilities. Fascinating vignettes from 50 different families and their highly intelligent children are included, and the children are classified into five Levels of intelligence. Testing, test scores, and interpretations of scores are explained in a new, eye-opening way. Parents and teachers will be able to compare a childâ€™s behaviors and developmental milestones to those of children in the five Levels chapters, and thus estimate their childâ€™s intellectual level and the implications for educational planning. Features include: Â· Information about testing and ceiling effects Â· Early developmental milestones Â· Family concerns Â· Choosing a school Â· Five Levels of gifted Â· Educational concerns Â· Instructional strategies

Understanding Williams Syndrome: Behavioral Patterns and Interventions  download pdf http://dloadbooks.xyz/?book=0805826181 Comprehensive and readable, Understanding Williams Syndrome: Behavioral Patterns and Interventions is an essential guide for all those professionally, scientifically, or personally involved with this so frequently misunderstood and underserved population--psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other mental health professionals; special educators and vocational counselors; speech-language, physical, and occupational therapists; audiologists; physicians; and parents.Â In the last 20 years, Williams syndrome has captured the interest of large numbers of scientists and attracted considerable media attention in spite of its rarity (estimated at no more than one in 30,000 births). Those diagnosed display a unique pattern of behavioral, cognitive, and physical limitations and strengths with fascinating neurogenetic implications--a pattern that poses enormous challenges to their parents and caregivers. The authors, a specialist in learning disabilities and a developmental psychologist, review basic information about Williams syndrome, its medical conditions, paradoxical profile, and neurobiological mechanisms; and discuss distinctive features of the language and perceptual and motor performance of children and adults with the syndrome.Â  Â Other features include:*Â Strategies for working with patients.* An examination of the difference between Williams syndrome and other developmental disorders.* Problem-specific alternatives for treatment.* Analysis of new directions in research, clinical intervention, education, and systems for care delivery.Â Throughout, they stress variations among individuals and subgroups in ability level, skills, talents, and problem severity; and emphasize the necessity of recognizing these components in planning treatment on an individual basis.
