[quote=Anonymous]Very much so. And I also believe that giftedness is a special need as well. Anything at the extremes of human physicality and behavior is a "special" need, because usually people living with them need accommodations. I have a gifted and learning disabled child (with ADHD, HFA, and medical issues), and I have a gifted child. They both need things that are not commonly necessary for the healthy, in-range child. I do my best to adjust their environment at home and at school, while also training them to adapt, as much as possible, to working conditions in the real world beyond school. My cousin is highly gifted and she has had a varied academic and career path, so I'm learning from what her mother tried to do and from what she herself decided to do. Hopefully my kids will have a smooth path.[/quote]
