Gifted and talented children challenge traditional ideas about learning. It is important for gifted and talented youngsters to be exposed to a high-quality learning environment as soon as possible.The ideal school program for the gifted child provides a variety of stimuli and experiences geared to the child's natural interests
It is not uncommon for gifted and talented children to achieve at levels lower than their capabilities if lack of challenge in school produces disinterest or if giftedness is accompanied by learning disabilities. Some intellectually gifted children also have learning differences and become particularly frustrated with their inability to produce in the classroom in exactly the same way as their peers. Meeting these problems will require a cooperative effort between parents, school officials, and a professional.
