I have been assisting home schooling families since 1980 with testing and curriculum development. I am knowlegeable in the use of a variety of tests, including the Stanford/Binet. Many parents have come to me over the years for assistance and once in a home education program the challenged students flourish.

I offer counseling to families of gifted children and am working on obtaining a copy of the Stanford Binet LM, which is no longer for sale from its publishers. I am a homeschool dad of a profoundly gifted and creative daughter, and this experience also helps me in my clinical practice. Current testing for children includes the WISC III. If we cannot find the Stanford Binet LM, will wait for version V to be released.

Message to Professionals

We will add your practice to this list if you:

1) provide testing and identification for gifted and creative children using the Stanford Binet L-M and Torrance Creativity Tests.

2) agree with our findings that many of our most highly gifted and creative children are being misdiagnosed/mislabled with behavior disorders such as ADD/ADHD. Those of which we find are the *resulting conditions* of an educational environment designed to destroy creativity and hinder intellectual development in gifted and creative children.

3) agree that using behavior modifying drugs is not the answer nor the solution to the problems facing these children.

4) agree that homeschooling is a viable option if a child's educational and emotional needs are not being met in the educational process.
