Teaching Gifted Children with Special Educational Needs

Children with both giftedness and special educational needs are often found in the mainstream classrooms. This essential resource provides an overview of existing knowledge about dual & multiple exceptionality and examines the needs of gifted and talented children from both the teacher’s and SENCo’s perspectives. Diane Montgomery explores both the specialist interventions that some children will need at least for part of their school life, as well as the general inclusive provision that every school can develop to meet the needs of all children. Focusing on evidence-based identification throughout, chapters in this accessible book also examine the rise of underachievement caused by special educational needs, which can often be overlooked.
