NAGC is a membership organisation with over 40 years' experience in addressing the needs of high ability children, their families and the professionals who work with them. We support about 10,000 children, young people and adults each year through the services we provide.
We provide support and specialist advice for those coping with a wide range of issues that affect children's lives every day, such as lack of self esteem, feelings of isolation and frustration, lack of challenge in the classroom or at home, underachievement, or challenging behaviour.
