Synopsis

Gifted students with learning challenges can be easily missed in the classroom and often have difficulty succeeding with traditional gifted curricula. "Creating Effective Programs for Gifted Students With Learning Disabilities" provides a road map for understanding assessment and programming for bright students with learning challenges in the era of Response to Intervention. The authors seek to help educators understand the often frustrating experiences GTLD students face in the classroom and to identify accommodations and adaptations that allow these bright students to demonstrate their gifts and compensate for their processing challenges. Through an examination of current research and case studies, the reader will be introduced to important features of both giftedness and learning challenges that need to be considered in developing effective assessment and identification procedures for this underserved population and programming that can provide benefits for the entire school community.

About this title

Review

In Creating Effective Programs for Gifted Students with Learning Disabilities, the three authors draw on their backgrounds in psychology and education to examine a variety of aspects of twice exceptionality. They provide multiple real-world profiles and case studies throughout the book that help readers get a picture of what twice exceptionality is all about, what types of strengths and weaknesses these students may display, and what does and does not work in building on their strengths and addressing their weaknesses. This book can serve as a useful reference resource for those looking for facts, best practices, research results, and experts opinions and recommendations on the assessment, identification, and education of twice-exceptional children. --Linda C.
