This chapter offers both statistical data and potential reasons explaining the gender gap between parents of boys and girls seeking help for their gifted children. The issue of gender and giftedness has been a "hot" one both in the scientific literature of giftedness and in the media for many decades. It has been discussed in educational and psychological debates, as well as among policy-makers in all countries that deal with the subject of gifted education. One of the main questions has been: why are less girls than boys identified as gifted? This important issue has substantially contributed to the academic careers of many social scientists, mainly educators and psychologists. The chapter presents an in-depth analysis of all girls' parents who contacted the author in the years 2014; some comparisons will be made with those who contacted the author during the next year, 2015, and in a few cases also with those seeking help for their gifted daughters during the whole 2010-2019 decade. As the number of parents contacting the author each year was well over 100, it presents some general conclusions regarding the girls' age, gender, nature of the problem, etc. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

The concept of 'twice-exceptionality', defined as children who have both unique cognitive capacity (i.e., giftedness or talent) and mental or physical disability, was coined more than four decades ago when programs were being developed that aimed to address the needs of gifted children with specific learning disorders or other disabilities. In recent years, there has been growing attention to the complexity of "twice-exceptional" children, and while there is still debate regarding the conceptual definition and clinical assessment of the term 'twice exceptional', children who are academically gifted or talented (GT) and diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) pose a great challenge for researchers and mental health practitioners. This chapter emphasizes the clinical complexity exhibited by these children and suggests that framing this topic within a well-established motivational theory can enhance the understanding of this specific phenomenon and create a more unified approach to the study of the characteristics, implications, and interventions pertinent to this subgroup of twice-exceptional children. The main reason to focus on children who are both GT and have ADHD is that their symptomology is often manifested in a very complex pattern.

This chapter addresses the status of gifted education in several Middle Eastern countries. It includes a brief history and description of the main studies that informed the development of subsequent gifted education in the Arab countries, which constitute the majority of countries in the Middle East. I describe the institutional, public, and private support for gifted students in six Middle Eastern countries, and explain why I choose to focus on these countries and not some of the other countries in this region. The chapter concludes with a list of tests in use for identifying giftedness in the relevant languages: Arabic and Hebrew (See Appendix 8.1).
