Advocate for Gifted Children

Where do I start? Read this quick overview of the basics when deciding it's time to advocate for your gifted child.

Federal Legislative Update

While there is no U.S. mandate to support all gifted children, NAGC keeps an eye on federal legislation trends and works with Congress to impact legislative change.

Advocating at the State Level

Well-organized, passionate advocates at the state level have made significant impacts to laws affecting gifted children at the state level.

Advocating for Gifted Programs in Your Local Schools

Often, experiences in gifted education vary from state-to-state, district-to-district. It's essential to consider these best practices before contacting your district.

Advocating for Your Child in the Classroom

A strong family-teacher partnership is essential for ensuring your gifted child receives the appropriate classroom support. 

State of the States Report

NAGC and the Council of State Directors of Programs for the Gifted (CSDPG) conduct a biennial survey of how states regulate and support programs for advanced students.
