Find an Expert

Are you the parent of a (potentially) gifted child? Are you a cognitively strong or gifted individual yourself, looking for guidance, validation, or direction? Or are you a school or professional seeking someone with expertise in giftedness?

You do not have to navigate that search on your own.

Within the Hoogbloeier® expert network, we bring together professionals who not only understand giftedness from a theoretical perspective, but often from personal experience as well. Our experts combine hands-on experience with scientifically grounded training and ongoing professional development through Hoogbloeier®.

The network consists of psychologists, coaches, therapists, teachers, student support coordinators, and other professionals, each with their own background, areas of expertise, and target groups. Some primarily work with children and adolescents, while others focus on parents, adults, schools, or teams. It is precisely this diversity that allows us to help you find someone who truly matches your needs and circumstances.

What unites our experts is a shared vision:

• A focus on cognitive learning characteristics and talent development;

• Attention to both cognitive and social-emotional needs;

• A nuanced, evidence-informed understanding of giftedness;

• And the belief that individualized support matters more than one-size-fits-all solutions.

In addition, our experts participate in annual professional development programs, peer consultation groups, and study days through Hoogbloeier®, ensuring that their knowledge remains up to date and that they continue to grow in their expertise.

Need help finding the right expert?

Sometimes you immediately know who you would like to contact. But often, the search is less straightforward:

• Which expert is the best fit for my child?

• Who works with adults?

• Who has experience with education, motivation, underachievement, autism, trauma, or career-related questions?

• Am I looking for coaching, psychoeducation, therapy, or guidance?

That is why we are happy to help you find the right fit.

Veerle Cool and Ilse Van Ginneken, our referral coordinators, will listen to your story and help you connect with an expert who is the best possible match for your needs, both professionally and personally.
