The article by Hashi Syedain was published in Leadership Focus, the magazine for NAHT, the Association for all School Leaders, and featured an interview with Mensa’s Gifted Child Consultant, Lyn Allcock. 

Lyn’s key message is that very gifted children have special needs, in particular their social and emotional development, for which they require support.
