Accommodations For Gifted Students with Learning Disabilities

GLDs are shown to have incredible duality in their characteristics and needs, thus requiring tailored, customized accommodation to best address their needs. Educators commonly find difficulty in providing the tailored accommodation due to the need for freedom to explore the talents causing giftedness, while also getting support for their individual needs caused by disability. Educators could improve current accommodations by broadening the identification and assessment processes for students suspected to be GLDs, allowing them to include the wider variety of characteristics stemming from the duality these students. This will allow for earlier identification, and earlier support.
