They are both gifted “and” – such as gifted and learning disabled, gifted and bipolar, gifted and physically disabled, gifted and ADHD, etc. This dichotomy of polar exceptionalities can be incredibly frustrating for the individual (and their families and teachers), somewhat akin to being the rope in a tug-of-war – being pulled in one direction by their gifts and talents and the intense desire to pursue them, while also being pulled in another direction by some sort of physical, intellectual, psychological, or emotional challenge that can complicate (or even get in the way of) their ability to develop and fulfill their giftedness.

Few school districts have screening procedures to identify them. Fewer still have special classes or programs to meet their needs.

In fact, one estimate suggests that as many as 180,000 gifted students with disabilities may currently be in the nation’s classrooms.

The person on the inside was quick, competent, and would always know the right answers in school. The person on the outside kept getting in the way.
