Understanding the Gifted Child: Overexcitabilities, Intensities, and Vulnerabilities,
Dr. Richard Courtright, Gifted Education Research Specialist, Duke University Talent Identification Program
Thirty years of working with gifted students in Duke TIP summer programs has provided evidence of the nature of the characteristics of gifted/talented students. While individual differences (and exceptions to the rule) abound, there are strong tendencies among gifted kids regarding their social and emotional development that can help parents and teachers understand the responses they receive from gifted children.
