facilitate the fullest possible development of potential


A paucity of professional knowledge regarding exceptionalities and educational /social emotional needs - often encountered.


Holistic • Comprehension of parts of something as intimately interconnected

and explicable by reference to the whole

• Treatment of whole person, taking into account mental and social factors

• Psychosocial portrait of the whole person, taking into account heritable, mental/cognitive, behavioral and social factors, cf. one aspect, or condition -------

A holistic approach helps expand knowledge and deepen understanding in homes, schools, health centers and wherever else highly able/creative individuals – child or adult - are found in need of social emotional and educational support.


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.


Further results – methodology supportive software program developed in

collaboration with the Institute of Gifted Child in Ukraine.

Both promote multiple benefits derived from gathering, presenting and explaining rich academic and non-academic data to key players and decision makers alike
