Disclaimer

Last updated: July 2026

GiftedKids.in is built to help parents, teachers, and caregivers understand giftedness in the Indian context. We write with care, lived experience, and academic guidance — but our content is educational and informational, not a substitute for professional advice.

Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on any information on this site.

1. Not medical, psychological, or clinical advice

Nothing on GiftedKids.in constitutes medical advice, psychological counselling, psychiatric treatment, or clinical diagnosis. Our articles, checklists, and frameworks are meant to help you observe, understand, and advocate — not to diagnose or treat any condition.

If your child is struggling with mental health, behaviour, learning difficulties, or emotional distress, please consult a qualified psychologist, psychiatrist, paediatrician, or other licensed professional.

2. Not diagnostic

Observational checklists, articles about gifted traits, and discussions of IQ, ADHD, or twice-exceptionality on this site are not diagnostic tools. Recognising patterns in your child's behaviour is a helpful first step — but only a qualified professional using validated assessment methods can determine whether a child is gifted, has ADHD, is twice-exceptional, or has another learning profile.

Do not make major educational, medical, or life decisions based solely on content you read here.

3. No doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship

Using GiftedKids.in — including contacting us by email or WhatsApp — does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional care relationship. We cannot provide individual clinical assessments or treatment plans through this website.

4. IQ, ADHD, and assessment content

Articles on IQ testing (such as WISC-V), gifted identification, ADHD overlap, and school advocacy discuss these topics in plain language for parents. They reflect general educational knowledge and our team's expertise, but:

• Test results depend on the assessor, the instrument, the child's state on the day, and cultural context.
• A single score does not define a child's potential or worth.
• Labels like "gifted" or "ADHD" are starting points for support, not verdicts.
• We encourage formal assessment only when you are ready and with a qualified professional — not because an article suggested you "should" test.

5. Individual results vary

Every child, family, school, and city in India is different. Strategies that work for one gifted child may not work for another. What helped one parent in Delhi may need adaptation in a village school in Bihar. Use our content as a starting point and adapt it to your reality.

6. External links and third parties

We link to external resources, organisations, and professionals we believe may be helpful. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Visiting external links is at your own discretion.

7. AI-assisted content

Some content on GiftedKids.in is structured and refined with the help of AI tools, then reviewed and approved by our team, guided by Dr. Inderbir Kaur Sandhu's expertise in gifted education and psychology. Despite this review, errors or outdated information may occasionally appear. If you spot something that concerns you, please tell us at support@giftedkids.in.
