  • Who are the profoundly gifted? The answers to this apparently simple question are not so simple. Extreme giftedness has to do with deeper, faster, wider-ranging, and more intense and active mental processing that affects a child's experience of the world from birth onward. Because this experience is internal it is not necessarily observable from the outside. Because there is an extremely broad spectrum of human intelligence and a great deal of difference between children in the typical gifted range and the rare individuals who can be termed profoundly gifted (outliers among the outliers), the issue of how to identify them and their individual modes of mental processing is critical to providing them with appropriate educational challenge, depth and breadth as early in life as possible. The single most difficult hurdle to overcome in seeking to provide this rare population with a range of suitable educational strategies to meet their very individual–often idiosyncratic–needs is the negative attitude of the general public and the educational institutions the children encounter. Where there is interest and willingness, where there is acceptance and understanding, these children can thrive and soar. They have extraordinary capacities, and with a little help and understanding can exhibit powerful resilience. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
