RGGLD ELEMENTARY LINKS
At this time we have been unable to discover many relevant links for
elementary students. If any identification occurs in elementary school,
it tends to be either for giftedness or learning disabilities. Many
children who are functioning at or slightly below grade level have
characteristics from either side of the spectrum whose abilities and
disabilities mask each other. This results in neither being discovered.
This link page will be updated as we find additional pertinent links.
Family Education.com is the website for the FamilyEducation Network.
In their elementary school information, there are two question and answer
topics that relate to gifted learning disabled.
-
Is retention beneficial for a gifted LD/ADD child?
- In an answer by Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D., he covers the topic of retention in
general, then as it applies to learning disabilites, ADHD, and giftedness combined
in one individual elementary student.
-
Is retention beneficial for a gifted young second grader recently diagnosed
with ADHD?
- Dr. Schultz discusses various educational options and he raises questions
that would need to be considered with this particular situation.
