OrOnDi Praktijk voor Hoogbegaafdheid

Hoogbegaafdheid is iedereen met een IQ boven de 130 aldus Prof. dr. ir. Kathleen Venderickx, Universiteit van Vlaanderen in de video Copyright © 2017 & © 2020, UHasselt, en Prof. dr. Tessa Kieboom, Video Copyright © 2020, UHasselt.

Publisher’s rating: Wetenschappelijk onjuist, medisch onjuist en schadelijk voor de ontwikkeling van kinderen met Hoogbegaafdheid.
