How could a child born with an Apgar score of 1 (0 is a dead baby), and declared by doctors to likely face learning disabilities, read words at just eight months old and enter college at 13? Interview Gloria Lindsay, who will tell your audience how she refused to accept the doctors’ prognosis and began a program of physical, intellectual, and neurological stimulation
for her daughter, Jennifer, who went on to read at a third grade level by age 3, join MENSA as a young girl, win countless competitions in violin, classical voice, art and science, and become a National Merit Scholar. Their story garnered them an Essence Magazine Award. Gloria will explain the techniques she used, and why all parents should start teaching their children in infancy. She’ll reveal:

• Why many parents who teach their babies do so secretly.
