Preferred term

gifted and talented children  

Definition

  • Students who show a remarkably high level of performance in one or more areas are referred to as having gifts and talents (gifted and talented). These students usually achieve at far higher levels than do their typically developing peers, which often means that the general education curriculum is not sufficiently challenging.
