The Status of the Selection of Gifted Students with Learning Disabilities for Gifted Programs.

Tallent-Runnels, Mary K.; Sigler, Ellen A.

Roeper Review, v17 n4 p246-48 May-Jun 1995

This study examined whether Texas students who are gifted and learning disabled are being identified for gifted programs. Survey results from gifted program coordinators (n=386) showed that few school districts (n=75) selected gifted children with learning disabilities for gifted programs. Fewer districts reported identification of these students in 1993 than did in 1989. (Author/SW)
