Professionals
Gifted Institute specializes in giftedness and well-being. Our vision is that all individuals should be approached based on their individual experiences and unique challenges, and our purpose is to enhance understanding of gifted and twice-exceptional children, youth, and adults in school, administrative, and family settings. To offer the most qualified help to all who reach out to us, we have various professionals affiliated with us, each of whom are specialists in their field. This way, we can provide broad and qualified assistance.
Gifted Institute focuses on gifted children and youth. These gifted children and youth need to be identified, recognized, supported with appropriate educational strategies, and challenged within suitable learning environments to thrive and gain the most benefit from their potential. Early identification, in particular, is crucial for the child's well-being.
The professionals surrounding these children play a crucial role. There is an increasing awareness in society about the group of gifted children, which fortunately contributes to a steadily growing interest. Gifted Institute has extensive experience in how identification can take place and how professionals can work to establish the right framework for recognition and to meet and teach children and youth in a way that realizes their potential and allows them to develop in a state of well-being.
Gifted Institute offers services to a wide range of professionals. We possess the necessary knowledge to advise and disseminate information to educators, teachers, PPR consultants, psychologists, psychiatrists, case workers, and family counselors, as well as to professionals in schools, administration, state, or municipality who seek knowledge and guidance in meeting individuals with giftedness.
This can be in the form of assistance in individual cases where children and youth need to be identified, recognized, and supported, or it can be counseling sessions, courses, workshops, and more. Gifted Institute can tailor services and recommends an initial interview to identify needs for guidance and assistance.

“For ikke længe siden blev jeg kontaktet af et frustreret forældrepar. Deres barn var i gennemgribende mistrivsel og læringskurven var stærkt nedadgående. De havde privat fået pigen testet hos Gifted Institute af Johnnie Rasmussen og ønskede vi indgik et samarbejde med Grith Tschorn, som havde et tæt samarbejde med familien.
Det viste sig at skulle blive starten på nogle nye og yderst kompetente samarbejdspartnere, som jeg uden tvivl vil benytte mig af i fremtiden. Vores indsigt på skolen, i forhold til de højt begavede unge, er minimale. En manglede indsigt, som var ved at få store konsekvenser for den pågældende elev. Via møder, delmål og rådgivning fra Grith, fik vi lavet en handleplan som fik en elev med tenderende skolevægring og mistrivsel tilbage i skole. Mit møde med Grith bekræftede mig i, hvor vigtigt det er, at vi er åbne i mødet med fagfolk. Og hvor vigtigt det er, at vi samarbejder med de fagfolk som ved hvordan vi skal hjælpe disse børn. Som skole må vores vigtigste mål være børn i trivsel.
Børn i trivsel lærer bedst. Vi må derfor aldrig glemme at se på barnet fra alle de vinkler det kræver, når de viser tegn på mistrivsel.”
