The term "special education" is typically used to define "instruction/classes for children with special needs because of physical or learning problems." But what about the special needs of gifted kids? And who falls into that category? The classic definition states that gifted children are those with unusual ability or potential in any one or more of 4-5 areas. Those are: intellect, academics, creativity, performing arts, or leadership. How much ability? How much potential? According to Dr. Jim Webb, author of "A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children", relying solely on that definition is like asking "how dark does dark blue have to be before it is navy blue or darker?" Annie talks with Jim about gifted kids and how parents can best help them understand and use their gifts.About Jim Webb (@SENG_gifted)James T.
