Thinking Outside the Box Gifted Consulting

  • Do you want to find out whether your son or daughter is gifted?
  • Are you experiencing problems developing a school program for your exceptional child?
  • Do you need help with socialization problems, underachievement or other unique challenges for your gifted child?
  • Do you need parenting advice, or wish you could talk to other parents about raising a child with giftedness?
  • Do you live in a part of the country where there are few services for gifted youth and could use some ideas?
If you do, child psychologist, Dr. Sally G. Hoyle, is available to discuss your child's situation and to find solutions that work for you. Drawing from her training in both developmental and clinical child psychology, Dr. Hoyle assesses the social and emotional adjustment of the child or teenager in the context of their family and school. She uses many traditional, research-based interventions, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, in creative ways that reflect each child's talents and intellectual abilities. Psychological testing for giftedness requires special skills which Dr. Hoyle has honed over 25 years of administrating I.Q. and other psychological tests. Skype consulting is offered for families outside of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metropolitan area. As an experienced clinician, Dr. Hoyle has a reputation for coming up with creative solutions to problems. She believes that "thinking outside the box" is essential to understanding and helping children with giftedness.
