Holistic • Comprehension of parts of something as intimately interconnected

The Chandelier system is founded on years of action-research, e.g., interviews with many young people, parents, teachers, school psychologists and professionals in educational and clinical settings; conducting comprehensive holistic psychological evaluations and writing positively didactic reports.

Important result of research - a growing number of better accommodated, challenged and more fulfilled clients, relieved parents, professionals and/or advocates sustained by a new understanding.

collaboration with the Institute of Gifted Child in Ukraine.
