SENG Needs Your Help!
Complete a Survey and Receive 20% Off Your GPP Order!
James T. Webb is consulting with SENG on a very important research project to gather data on Parents' Experiences with Their Gifted Child's Doctors. This study is being conducted by SENG, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are asking your participation in an important online survey to help educate doctors and the public about gifted and talented children.
The survey only takes about ten minutes, and we are trying to get as large a sample as we can. The survey has been running for a short time, and already we have been enormously pleased with the numbers of responses. Thank you to all who have contributed your time. It would be terrific - as well as beneficial to all parents of gifted children - to hear from even more of you. Please help us publicize it as widely as you can so that we can get as many parent participants as possible
For your generous time, we are offering survey participants a one-time 20% discount on their regular priced purchases. Access to this special offer is provided at the end of the survey, and cannot be combined with other discounts.
