Gifted children and Learning Difficulties:
In society there is a dangerous belief that a gifted child won't have any learning issues. Also that a child with learning problems cannot be gifted!
However nothing could be further from the truth. In fact I would go so far as to say that some of the children I have worked with for learning difficulties are actually some of the most intelligent people I have met. They have the most amazing strategies for coping in the classroom. Many of them go undiagnosed for years because they are so good at hiding their difficulties!
