VISUAL SPATIAL LEARNERS

 

Gifted Resources is very interested in the particular needs of Gifted Visual Spatial Learners and works closely with Gifted & Creative Services Australia and Starjump Special Needs Education for Visual Spatial Learners.

In 2005 Starjump and Gifted Resources combined to host Melbourne workshops presented by Dr. Linda Silverman, author of Upside Down Brilliance and Alexandra Golon, author of the parent companion book Raising Topsy-turvy kids (see picture)
