Kriss Muskett, GATCA committee member will share the knowledge she’s acquired through decades of research and assisting hundreds of families on their journeys. *GATCA was established in 1978 and is a, not-for-profit, self-help organisation providing teachers and parents with the means to meet the special needs of gifted children at home or school.
