 Many people have difficulty comprehending that a child can be gifted and also have learning
disabilities. As a result, children with special needs that result from both their high abilities and
their learning problems are rarely identified and are often poorly served.
 When educators first began describing children who showed evidence of having a learning
disability (LD) yet also appeared to be gifted, many viewed this as contradictory.
 In 1981, a colloquium held at The Johns Hopkins University convened experts from the fields of
both learning disabilities and giftedness to consider this issue.
 In recent years, the concept of giftedness and learning disabilities occurring concomitantly in the
same individual has become commonly accepted

GIFTED IN VISUAL ARTS

In its definition of the gifted and talented, the government specifies that these children are to be
identified by professionally qualified persons as being capable of high performance in the visual arts.
Unfortunately, neither "high performance" nor "qualified persons" are easily defined.

Hurwitz goes on to say that he believes "high visual ability, rests largely on intensity and commitment.
Whatever most children are capable of accomplishing, the gifted surpass in quality, love of work, and
amount of time spent."
