September 1, 2022
Welcome, new applicant families and return applicant families. Thank you for visiting our website. Gifted Support Services has supported admissions assessments for Nueva, Harker, Helios, Davidson Academy, and many other out-of-state schools for nearly a decade. We serve as the premier specialty admissions and gifted assessment center in the Bay Area.
We are here to meet your assessment needs, create a lasting relationship, and offer solutions and support as your family grows and their educational, behavioral and emotional needs mature.
As experts in admissions and gifted testing, we specialize in bringing the best out of your child. If they are introverted, quiet, shy, slow to warm up, or extroverted and highly energetic, we have the experience to foster flourishing during the assessment.
Even though any licensed clinical psychologist can administer the assessment, most are trained to assess for problems, disorders, and disabilities. In contrast, we take the exact opposite approach and will be assessing and observing their gifted traits, and looking for their talent and greatness. We see their energy and intensity as passion and are capable of guiding their focus to the task at hand.
With the school year beginning and the admissions process underway, we know firsthand the testing and admission process can be foreign, overwhelming, and anxiety-provoking. We have created a smooth, frictionless booking workflow for this admissions season.
Please reach out through our contact form to ask questions or schedule an assessment.

For returning families who simply intend to schedule an assessment, we have an online self-booking and consent process.
Commitment to EID
We at Gifted Support Services have worked for years to advocate for gifted identification for the underserved. We are a company that promotes and works towards creating practices that foster equity, inclusion, and diversity. We acknowledge that more needs to be done to correct the disparities and underrepresentation in gifted education.
We believe that all families should have access to gifted specialists and expert support regardless of their financial situation. Our Equity Project has partnered with donors, parent entrepreneurs, and corporate friends, and we are able to provide some admissions testing at a sponsored rate. Unfortunately, these are limited.
