PH Bern symposium 30.8.2025
“Discovering and supporting gifted young people. How can highly gifted young people be recognized and effectively supported in the school context?” A cooperation with the EHK, Parents’ Association of Gifted Children Switzerland
English Speakers:
Dr. Linda Silverman Ph.D. (USA) is the founder of the renowned Gifted Development Center in Colorado and a pioneer in the study of highly sensitive and gifted children. With over 40 years of experience, she has not only significantly shaped the scientific discussion, but also introduced the term “Visual Spatial Learners” – a groundbreaking category to describe special cognitive profiles of highly gifted children. Her presentation offers practical insights and innovative approaches to better understand the many facets of giftedness and provide targeted support.
Dr. Amy Molina Ph.D. (USA) is an expert on Twice Exceptional (2e) children and adolescents. As a child psychologist, with more than 25 years working directly with children and teachers in schools, she brings a valuable perspective to the debate on inclusivity and neurodiversity in education. She has a private practice and a wealth of knowledge gained from clinical-psychological diagnostics in outpatient medical settings and in public education. She offers sound insights into the special needs and potential of 2e students and will focus on helping teachers recognize these “hidden treasures” in their classrooms, understand and support their specific needs and individual gifts.
