Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented (TAGT) is an organization of educators and parents dedicated to meeting the unique needs of gifted and talented students. It is the nation’s largest state advocacy group of its kind, providing nearly 3,000 members and friends of gifted youth a forum for exchanging ideas and information about the education of gifted and talented students.

 

The mission of Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) is to empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

 

Supporting the needs of high potential learners, National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) develops policies and practices that encourage and respond to the diverse expressions of gifts and talents in children and youth.
