Gifted and learning disabled: Students who are twice exceptional. Your rating: None Average: 3.7 (3 votes) Parents may suspect that their child is gifted, yet be baffled when their smart child has difficulty learning in certain areas. Some intellectually gifted students also have special learning needs such as a learning disability. Gifted students may also have other special educational needs such as auditory processing problems, dyslexia, ADHD or emotional problems.

When a highly intelligent child has a learning disability, it is difficult for parents to make sense of the learning and behavior patterns they observe. Because these students are extremely intelligent, they can utilize many compensatory strategies in order to learn and appear more successful. It is often difficult for adults to be alert to the signs of intellectual giftedness in children who do not learn easily and rapidly in all areas.

Gifted individuals with learning disabilities exhibit both strengths and areas of need. Author's Bio: Dr. Schmidbauer.
