Dotado

Dotado is a Dutch practice based in Rotterdam that specializes in supporting parents, teachers, and (presumed) highly gifted children and adults. They conduct IQ testing for children aged 4-15 and adults aged 16-85, along with psychological research and psycho-education. The organization has more than 16 years of experience and has completed over 1,500 assessments.

To begin services, individuals can contact the practice via their website or by phone during their specific opening hours. For IQ tests on children or young people, there is currently a waiting list of approximately two months, while no waiting list exists for adult assessments and coaching. The practice also offers a course on 'beelddenken' (visual thinking) and a group program specifically for girls.

Dotado operates from their office at Raadsdeel 7, 3043 CZ, Rotterdam. Their phone number is +31102004474, and they can be reached via email at [email protected]. They state that during appointments, they focus entirely on the client and do not take incoming calls.

The practice offers a variety of specialized services including IQ testing for children and adults, coaching for parents and children aged 7-18, and family constellation sessions. They also provide lectures, workshops, and excursions, alongside a knowledge base and psycho-education programs for highly gifted children.

The practice offers coaching specifically for 'beelddenken bij (hoog)begaafde kinderen' (visual thinking in highly gifted children) for ages 7-14. They also run a 'Meidengroep' (girls' group) and provide coaching for adults to help them express their feeling of being 'different'. Additionally, they offer parent courses and opvoedopstellingen (family constellation sessions).

Dotado provides psycho-education for highly gifted children and organizes excursions as part of their 'Spelen & ontdekken' (Play & discover) section. They also offer a knowledge base with articles on topics such as whether giftedness is hereditary and the characteristics of a highly gifted child. Their website mentions that they invite adults to look in the mirror through their sensitivity.

The practice operates on a phone-based appointment system with specific opening hours: Monday from 9:30-13:30, and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30-12:30. They advise clients to use these phone opening hours or leave a voicemail message if they cannot reach them immediately. They also offer a 'Bel mij terug' (Call me back) feature for scheduling.

The practice mentions that they support adults in giving words to their feeling of 'anders zijn' (being different) and helping them deal with sensitivity and complexity. They also assist parents in trusting their own intuition and finding their inner strength source to strengthen the relationship with their child. This approach is central to their coaching and advisory work.

The website states that they look first at what parents and teachers can do to support the child. They emphasize that children are allowed to play and discover, which is part of their 'Spelen & ontdekken' philosophy. This holistic approach covers research, training, and coaching to better understand cognitive and emotional needs.
