"As educators and scholars, we spend enormous amounts of time attempting to design and deliver optimal learning experiences for gifted learners from all backgrounds. Seldom, however, do we actively engage gifted learners in this process by asking what they truly need from us. To do this, the learners must be in the mode of self-discovery and have optional strategies in mind as they advocate for themselves. In this groundbreaking book, Deb Douglas has created a multilayered tool that will help educators working with gifted learners discover the power of self-advocacy. This book has potential to be a game changer in the field of gifted education, shifting our focus from what we 'do for' gifted learners to teaching them how 'to know themselves' and speak to what they need to make learning a truly valuable experience with lifelong intellectual, academic, and psychosocial benefits. I look forward to hearing about how school districts will put this game-changing tool to work!"--Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, associate professor of education at Virginia Union University, author of Bright, Talented & Black: A Guide for Families of African American Gifted Learners , and former at-large member of Board of Directors, NAGC, "Unquestionably, educators and other professionals who are dedicated to bolstering the skills of self-advocacy among gifted and talented children will thoroughly value this welcome addition to their toolkits. Replete with clear extrapolations of theory and research to practice, The Power of Self-Advocacy for Gifted Learners provides explicit guidelines and materials that have been field-tested for use with students. Additionally, the text can be helpful for developing the support skills of mentors and others who champion gifted students' abilities to advocate for themselves. Whether for an individual gifted and talented student, for a group of students in imminent need of self-advocacy strategies, or to augment existing curricula, the foundations for self-advocacy are delivered in a style that students will quickly integrate into their personal repertoires for negotiating life. I commend Deb Douglas not only for encapsulating her years of expertise but also for her willingness to share her skillful techniques with others. Ultimately, gifted and talented children are likely to become better prepared for finessing day-to-day challenges thanks to this outstanding book."--F. Richard "Rick" Olenchak, Ph.D., professor of educational psychology, research methodology, and gifted education, and department head of educational studies at Purdue University, Unquestionably, educators and other professionals who are dedicated to bolstering the skills of self-advocacy among gifted and talented children will thoroughly value this welcome addition to their toolkits.

Deb Douglas offers a solid down-to-earth guide for gifted students to take charge of their education and development. The tools she provides will become lifelong skills. Throughout the text, one hears the voices of students she counseled. One could not ask for a better guide., The Power of Self-Advocacy for Gifted Learners is a valuable resource for helping gifted teens advocate for their needs in the constantly shifting world of education. Taking into account the risks of leaving students to the winds of chance and changing politics behind programs that often leave much to be desired for gifted needs, this book creates a plan for educating them about their own characteristics and providing them with bridges to reach mentors and others in their lives who can help them reach even further. This is not only a book of information and ideas, but a complete workshop plan that can be immediately utilized by teachers, parents, and the teens themselves to create the best possible future for gifted children in every community., "In this ground-breaking book, Deb Douglas has created a multilayered tool that . . . has potential to be a game changer in the field of gifted education."--Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, associate professor of education at Virginia Union University, author of Bright, Talented & Black: A Guide for Families of African American Gifted Learners , and former at-large member of Board of Directors, NAGC, "As a school psychologist and administrator of programs for gifted and talented students in a large public school system for 30 years, I feel this book provides educators, parents, and health-care providers valuable background information and tools to guide bright children in becoming happy, autonomous, lifelong learners. The author speaks from the heart and shares inspiring, real-life stories of young people who, with direct, systematic instruction in caring relationships, transitioned through the four steps of taking charge of their own learning and their own lives."--Rosina M.
