Needs of Gifted Learners

Gifted students can have different needs than their peers.  While it is easy to focus on the academic needs of gifted children, they also may have different social and emotional needs from their peers.  Many gifted students perceive the world and their emotions differently than other children their age.  They can experience intensity and asynchronous development.  The resources below provide more information on these topics.
