Preferred term

giftedness and disability  

Definition(s)

  • Gifted pupils with disabilities face seemingly contradictory social expectations and definitions, have varied prevalence rates, and encounter diverse and sometimes inadequate identification procedures. Nevertheless, these youth can clearly benefit from gifted and special needs instruction, and from teacher and parent advocacy.Gifted youth are generally expected to be high achievers and to be generally well behaved, whereas students with disabilities tend to face lower academic and behavioral expectations.
