  • This chapter focuses on students with a unique profile of being strong in nonverbal areas but much lower in verbal abilities, a group that is surfacing with some regularity now that nonverbal tests are being used more frequently in schools. This particular group is included in the discussion of low-income gifted because of the prevailing view that strong nonverbal aptitudes are found in culturally different youngsters (e.g., Native Americans, African Americans, English language learners). We know that culturally different children often are found in poverty at higher rates, so discussion of this subset of gifted learners offers the opportunity to learn more about how to recognize and nurture giftedness in underserved groups. A literature review exploring aspects relevant to this special population opens the chapter. Aspects of the review include a working definition of high nonverbal, low verbal giftedness; identification route influences; student performance; and learning needs and supports, styles, and preferences. Drawing on case study findings of special needs gifted learners, this chapter discusses unique characteristics, educational needs, learning opportunities, and similarities/differences in student, parent, and teacher perspectives found in this special needs group. Examples and quotations from student vignettes illustrate these perspectives. Through integration of the literature and the case study findings, this chapter then provides ideas for school-based practitioners and gifted coordinators in the development of gifted high nonverbal, low verbal children.
