Twice exceptional : Gifted Students with Learning Disabilities Considerations Packet For more information contact: E-mail: Phone: 757-221-6000 or 800-323-4489. Website: Twice exceptional : Gifted Students WITH Learning DISABILITIES. Intellectually Gifted individuals with specific Learning disabilities are the most misjudged, misunderstood, and neglected segment of the student population and the community. Teachers, school counselors, and others often overlook the signs of intellectual giftedness and focus attention on such deficits as poor spelling, reading, and writing. (Whitmore & Maker, 1985, p. 204). This packet focuses on providing educators with basic information for recognizing and understanding Gifted Students with Learning disabilities (LD). Characteristics of this population are discussed as well as strategies to engage Students in the Learning environment and models for special programming.
Identification Early identification of students who are gifted with LD is crucial (Dole, 2000). Many students who are gifted/LD are not identified until high school and college when academic work increases in difficulty. In earlier years, these students may appear to be functioning normally, but are usually performing well below their potential.
