Intended for parents of gifted children, the directory reports information on parent groups and the role of parents as teachers and advocates. Color-coded sections cover the following topics: formation of the directory, legislation, sources of books about gifted children, ways for parents to reach educators, and hints for parents at home. The bulk of the document consists of a section listing parent groups by state and including such information as the group's name, address, membership number, amount of dues, goals, most successful activity, and contact person. A final section provides parent checklists for identifying a gifted child, for youngsters interested in science, and for organizing educational, programs for gifted and talented, as well as a short paper on what the gifted child needs from parents and a sample community resource survey form.
