  • This study implemented a treatment program focused on the improvement of gifted learning disabled students' academic self-perceptions through the enrichment of visual-spatial strengths. The rationale for this study was based upon the concept of abilities as developing competencies that can be altered characteristics of an individual. The notion of altering or changing abilities through the implementation of appropriate interventions (i.e. enhancing noncognitive factors) to improve domain specific areas of giftedness and learning disabilities was the impetus for this study. The research question aimed to determine if enrichment intervention activities positively produced an effect upon the academic self-perceptions of perceived general intellectual ability in Gifted Learning Disabled (GLD) students (i.e. how smart am I?). The participants were 4th and 5th grade public elementary school students who displayed strong visual-spatial skills and learning difficulties. This empirical study included a pre/post treatment design with a experimental group and a waitlist comparison group. The hypothesis was confirmed with treatment results demonstrating significant gains in perceived general intellectual abilities subsequent to the completion of a ten-week enrichment program. Research and practice implications for curriculum decisions and program interventions are discussed. Recommendations for future research considerations based on the findings from this study are included. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
