Inhaltsangabe:

Gifted students with learning disabilities (GTLD) can be easily missed in the classroom and often have difficulty succeeding with traditional gifted curricula. Creating Effective Programs for Gifted Students With Learning Disabilities provides a road map for understanding assessment and programming for GTLD students in the era of Response to Intervention. The book helps educators understand the often frustrating experiences GTLD students face in the classroom and identify accommodations and adaptations that allow these bright students to demonstrate their gifts and compensate for their processing challenges. Through an examination of current research and case studies, the reader will be introduced to what must be considered when identifying and developing programming for this underserved population.
