Giftedness Assessment

The assessment for giftedness is completed through a psych-educational assessment. Although specialists determine giftedness by evaluating cognitive functioning. It is important to assess how children are performing academically as well. By assessing academic skills, it is possible to see how a child is performing according to the potential suggested by their intellectual functioning. This is particularly important in planning for learning needs. A child may require additional challenge in certain areas while also requiring more support in other areas.  It is quite common for gifted children to present with learning differences that can meet criteria for a learning disability. The diagnosis of gifted-learning disabled is also referred to as twice exceptional.
