Hello, and welcome!
We are so thrilled to be here on this journey of learning, supporting, understanding and THRIVING as a gifted, multi-exceptional / neurodiverse community. We get it! With our family of 7 we have experienced it all and know just how hard it is to survive in a world that does not understand giftedness in all its forms.
We are so excited for our 5th annual Gift-a-Palooza event, where we will be learning together, sharing and just feeling a sense of community together. Let's make this the best experience possible. We hope you will join us!

What do the terms Neurodivergent & Neurodiversity mean?
Traditionally, Neurodivergent is a term that refers to those persons whose 'neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation.' Generally speaking, this always meant those with noticeable learning differences, such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD and others.
However, given new revelations in brain research (especially research pertaining to Gifted and/or Multi-Exceptional brains), we are seeing that Neurodiversity applies to a much broader group of people, which includes giftedness, trauma, anxiety, and even auditory or visual processing issues.
So what is Neurodiversity? It's complex. These brains are metaphysically different from their typical peers, and are thus Neurodivergent â which is what we're looking forward to addressing in-depth together in this summit!
