Identifying and Providing for the Hispanic Gifted Child.
Melesky, Thomas J.
NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v9 n3 p43-56 Spr 1985
Hispanic children are often considered ineligible for participation in programs for the gifted and talented because of identification procedures that rely heavily on tests which are inappropriate for use with Spanish-speaking children and because of the widespread acceptance of an essentially inaccurate definition of giftedness as synonymous with high IQ.
