individuals the mental health and social competence necessary for them
to be free to choose ways to develop and express their abilities and
talents fully.
With support, gifted individuals can develop abilities that enhance
their own lives and the lives of others. Without understanding and
support, they may be inhibited in the development of their gifts and
talents, which can result in significant negative personal and societal
consequences. The mission of SENG is to empower caring families and
communities to influence more positively and effectively the development
of giftedness in those individuals entrusted to their care.
