Giftedness

Young individuals with exceptional thinking and reasoning abilities have the potential to thrive in school, but their advanced skills are sometimes overlooked, limiting their ability to reach their full potential. Additionally, their heightened cognitive abilities can sometimes result in behavioral or emotional challenges.
