Children Evolving

History

I began Children Evolving in 2004 to consult with families seeking to better understand their child's educational and emotional needs. I evaluate children privately using The Annemarie Roeper Method of Qualitative Assessment and also use this method to evaluate applicants for Helios School, a school for the gifted I co-founded, now located in Sunnyvale, CA.

QA is an alternative to IQ tests in determining intellectual potential and offers an individualized approach to understanding the child. I guide parents in their educational decisions as well as how to best support their child's intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs. Gifted children typically have valuable strengths such as advanced abstract reasoning, creativity, problem-solving abilities, empathy and compassion; attributes I see as vital for the future of humanity. Unfortunately, the strengths of the gifted are not usually recognized or fostered in most schools today. Giftedness expresses itself in many ways that can pose unexpected challenges for teachers and parents alike. My mission is to raise awareness and curtail the unfortunate loss of potential in our brightest children.
