If My Child is Gifted...... What Type of School Program
Should I Look For?
Gifted children should receive education at a level
commensurate with their abilities and interest. (1)This might mean
finding a school that will place your academically advanced child in a
class that is at an advanced level despite the age of the child.(2) It
may mean exposing your child to a class of other gifted children whose
abilities range from minimally gifted to highly gifted.(3) It may mean
keeping your child in a regular program with supplemental enrichment
being given in the areas that the child is gifted. Other factors should
be considered besides the academic curriculum. The fit of a child to a
school also depends upon social and emotional factors. Your child should
be an active participant in the selection process. These concerns may be
discussed with Dr. Todd.
