“Gifted and talented children are those who by virtue of outstanding abilities
in such areas as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity
in specific academic fields, are capable of high performance. These are
children who require differentiated educational programs and services
beyond those normally provided by the regular school program in
order to realize their contribution to self and society.”
-U.S. Department of Education
Gifted and Talented in the State of Arkansas
