families with gifted/special needs children, founder/listowner of the
GT-Spec-Home email list for
families homeschooling gifted/special needs children, and creator of the
Uniquely Gifted website of online
resources and books for families with gifted/special needs children, led to her
career as a special needs educational advisor. She is Contributing Editor

extensively on gifted/special needs children, including workshops at conferences
sponsored by the Association

Boston Learning Society.
Ms. Warshaw's resume
includes a decade of psychiatry research at Brown University, specializing in
longitudinal studies of anxiety disorders and depression, and authorship or
co-authorship of
over 50 papers in peer reviewed journals. As a freelance writer, she's
had popular articles
in magazines and online publications including ADDitude
magazine, Life
Learning, and PG Cybersource,
plus a chapter on internet resources in the wonderful book on gifted/special
needs children (and this site's namesake),
Uniquely Gifted: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice-Exceptional
Student, edited by Kiesa Kay. She has masters degrees in clinical
social work, psychology research, and statistics.
Ms. Warshaw was a member of the Website and Communications Committee of the
Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates

member of the Editorial Board for the new publication
2e: Twice-Exceptional Newsletter.
As the mother of a uniquely gifted son, Meredith Warshaw knows first-hand the
trials and joys of
living with and educating a multiply-exceptional child. Because school and her
son turned out to be a bad combination, they embarked on the adventure of
homeschooling.
