Ensuring Gifted Children with Disabilities Receive Appropriate Services: Call for Comprehensive Assessment. Position Statement
National Association for Gifted Children
Like all other students with disabilities in America's schools, gifted students with co-existing disabilities--the Twice-Exceptional (2e)--have the right to a free, appropriate, public education. However, due to challenges inherent in accurately evaluating a student's learning strengths and weaknesses, and special education identification processes that focus on below grade-level achievement, many 2e students are going unidentified. The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) recommends five strategies that will increase the probability that gifted students with disabilities are identified and that their advanced abilities and disabilities are simultaneously addressed and supported.
