CAGT 2020 Presentation
Keep Your Children Well: Insights From One We Lost
The presentation was given at the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented on October 23, 2020. Using the psychological autopsy published by Dr. Tracy Cross et al., William and Mary (2020), the life and death of an 18 year-old GT student is examined. New models to predict suicidal ideation are presented. Illuminating how the intensities and over-excitabilities associated with being gifted can be risk or protective factors will help participants recognize similar traits in the gifted individuals with whom they interact. This knowledge will inform participants as they guide gifted individuals across the life span. My hope—never lose another one.
