“Every parent thinks (rightly so) that their child is special. But the minute you say your child is gifted, you feel like you're being snobbish and overly blinded by your parental love. This was us for many years. From an early age, our daughter exhibited various qualities that made us think she was gifted, so we assumed she was gifted, and we were right about this. But what we got wrong was not thinking ahead of how much her needs might vary from the majority of the population. We only recently started this journey of understanding the needs of gifted children like ours and were glad Dr. Siu was available to help us comprehend, from a more objective and professional perspective, where our child's cognitive relative strengths were and where she may need some support. His nuanced perspective on some of the gifted schools in the Bay Area was also very helpful. I'd encourage any parent of a gifted child who may be on the sidelines like we were to connect with Dr. Siu as early as possible.”
J.P. “We had an excellent experience with Gifted Support Services. We were guided well for what to expect, and felt very comfortable sending our child for the IQ test. The teacher was very kind and incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for support for a gifted child.”
P.S. “We had a wonderful experience with Gifted Support Services. Dr Siu was extremely patient, welcoming, warm and kind. He was very responsive to answer any questions on scheduling via email.

The office location was great . We had no parking issues at 9am appointment and after the session, there were many great places to eat or even pick up a snack from the bakeries.”
Anonymous “Like many parents navigating private school admissions, we were initially anxious about IQ testing requirements. We were fortunate to discover Bradley at Gifted Support Services, whose expertise and warm approach transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an enlightening one. From our first interaction, Bradley put our minds at ease about the Wechsler assessment process. His remarkable ability to connect with children shone through as our daughter engaged enthusiastically in their 30-minute session. Bradley's extraordinary talent for transforming evaluation into engaging play created an environment where our daughter could truly demonstrate her capabilities. While we understood that IQ testing at age 3 years and 10 months provides just one snapshot, Bradley's comprehensive report offered invaluable insights into both our daughter's strengths and areas for growth. The assessment validated our play-based educational approach and provided clear direction for supporting our daughter's development. We cannot recommend his services highly enough for families seeking pre-K gifted assessments—he truly excels at making this important process both comfortable and illuminating. P.S. When visiting Bradley’s office, check out his extensive bookshelf of gifted education resources.”
