We would like to invite you to an event with an international speaker
Dr Matt Zakreski (USA), whom Gifted WA has engaged to present at
this year's 10th Anniversary AGM 

Today’s students, especially gifted and twice-exceptional individuals, are marked by their intensity, particularly their emotional intensity.  These emotional outbursts can be very disruptive and dysregulating to the students, as well as their peers, parents, teachers, and community supports.  

This session will focus on the psychology and neuroscience behind emotional intensity and give concrete, accessible techniques that will allow for the development of self-regulation skills.


Dr. Matthew Zakreski (known as “Dr. Matt”) is a seasoned clinical psychologist and professional speaker renowned for his expertise in serving neurodivergent individuals. In doing hundreds of talks all over the world, Dr. Zakreski has cultivated a reputation as a dynamic keynote speaker, captivating audiences with his insightful presentations and empowering messages.


Kind regards,

Gifted WA Secretary
