Vassiliki Beloyianni

Reversing the underachievement of highly able adolescents has been a significant concern for school psychologists. Much research
has demonstrated that there is no single intervention that would successfully remediate underachievement for all students. In this
respect, it is widely accepted that each attempt to support highly able underachievers must be based on an individualized intervention
