Supporting a gifted child is often challenging.

As parents and educators, it can be difficult to understand how best to meet the complex needs of gifted children. IEA offers complimentary Gifted Support Group meetings featuring professionals who are experts on various aspects of gifted youth. These meetings provide support and community, a venue for shared discovery, and a space to exchange resources and ideas. Sharing experiences with other parents and educators who interact with gifted children has proven to be enormously helpful.

About the Speaker:

Allison Krug is an intuitive scientist, wife, and mother who brings a unique blend of evidence-based psychological theory, coaching science, spiritual practice, and lived parenting experience to families of gifted and twice-exceptional children. Following her own family’s educational debacle in 2022, she became a professional coach to better support her own family.

Since becoming certified, she has logged more than 1,000 coaching hours with gifted and twice-exceptional adolescents, young adults, and their families. She finds great joy in helping families navigate intensity, underachievement, perfectionism, and motivation challenges—and the impacts these have on relationships, careers, and personal well-being.

Together with her co-facilitator, Alli leads SENG parent groups for families of gifted and 2e children, which is where she first learned about IEA. She is honored to be here with your community.
