Ensuring the Best Future For Our Brightest Minds

Vision

We envision a world where each parent, clinician and educator is trained to recognize the complex interplay between disability and giftedness in multi-exceptional children so that each child can be properly identified, supported, and offered every opportunity to fully achieve based upon their strengths, abilities, and talents.





​

Who We Are

Bright Not Broken:  The Lorna Wing Institute of America, a national non-profit, exists to bridge the gap between the fields of giftedness, ADHD, Autism, and related disorders to help ensure that multi-exceptional children reach their full potential by being properly identified and receiving appropriate educational, social-emotional, and therapeutic supports for both their strengths and challenges. 






What We Do

To ensure multi-exceptional children the opportunity to reach their full potential,  we engage in a dual initiative:

  • We empower parents of uniquely capable children within the Gifted, Autism, ADHD, and related disabilities communities by providing parent awareness seminars. 
 
  • By training and establishing a network of professionals to accurately identify and support the complex challenges and strengths of multi-exceptionality, we ensure parents access to safe, effective, and targeted interventions to meet the educational, social, and therapeutic needs of their children.

Your generous gift will enable Bright Not Broken:  The Lorna Wing Institute of America to offer clinicians initial trainings in the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) as well as in giftedness. Our goal is to establish a national network of trained clinicians so parents of multi-exceptional children have a proven alternative to current practices.
