Gifted

Gifted education focuses on the identification and support of students whose abilities or potential exceed typical developmental expectations. Unlike general special education, which encompasses a range of learning differences, this subject addresses the academic, emotional, and social needs of gifted learners, as well as specialized instructional strategies and program development.

Those seeking to deepen their understanding of giftedness can explore research on student identification, differentiated instruction, and enrichment models. For a broader context, you may also compare topics within Special Education to see distinctions among various learning challenges and support approaches for diverse student groups.
