Advocacy Groups and Articles Gifted Advocacy From Hoagies.  A plethora of articles pertaining to advocacy and the gifted child.  Most if not all of the articles are US based, so some may not be that relevant for us Canadians, but other articles are relevant (such as how to advocate) no matter where one lives.   Problem Solving 103: In The Principal's Office A really good article on  how to advocate for your child at the school!   The Tea and Terrorist Society: Parent Advocacy at the District Level   A great article (also refered to at Hoagies) which has some real 'hands on' suggestions for advocating based on a real example of effective advocacy. Special Need and Special Gifts A grass-roots parent's site with helpful advice on working with the system to secure your child's rights.  Although written for the parents of children with learning disabilities and other special needs, this sight can still offer parents whose children are gifted with quite a bit of information. Based in the US, so, unfortunately, the laws do not pertain to Canada.    Communicating Effectively with your Child's School. An article by J. Smutny (available in PDF format)   Comhnadh Consulting A professional consulting service which also offers seminars (check their calendar to see which one's are being offered in your area).  Teresa (please visit her on the message board) recommeded this company and she has made use of their services.    Wrightslaw: Special Education Law This site is quite comprehensive, but it is unfortunate that it refers only to US based law.  However, as with most of the advocacy sites that I have listed here, it does contain some great tips and techniques which are very useful for us parents.   Humerous Sites (enter with funny bone!)
