Who We Are

Central Florida Gifted Center was founded by Lauren R. Parker, Psy.S., NCSP to address the growing social and emotional needs of Gifted children and adolescents in the Central Florida area. Lauren is a Nationally Certified and Florida Licensed School Psychologist (#SS1393) with extensive experience identifying and supporting Gifted students in the public school system.

Here at CFLGifted, we understand that Giftedness is more than a test score or perceived academic potential. Giftedness in children and adolescents may lead to traits such as perfectionism, anxiety, extreme sensitivity to the world around them, or social skills difficulty; impeding their ability to learn and grow. We are committed to supporting students and their families to ensure that young people can discover what makes them gifted and can accomplish all that they are capable of.
