Students who are gifted, but who struggle with a learning disability or attention deficit are a strange paradox--they have special intellectual gifts, but are unsuccessful with certain basic learning tasks. Their potential is at great risk of going untapped and undeveloped because the major focus of educational intervention is on what these students do not know and cannot do rather than on nurturing their talents. These students require special attention, and it is vital that schools pay attention to the gifts as well as teh learning difficulties.
Dr. Susan Baum is Professor of Education at the Graduate School of the College of New Rochelle where she teachers courses in elementary education and the education of gifted and talented students. She consults nationally and internationally, writing and researching in many areas of education, including differentiated curriculum and instruction, emotional needs of children, gifted education, gifted learning-disabled students, gifted underachieving students, and economically disadvantaged students. She has served on the Board of Directors of the National Association for Gifted Children and is co-founder of the Association for the Education of Gifted Underachieving Students.
Dr. Steven Owen serves as Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Texas Medical Branch as well as senior bio-statistician.
