Problems of the Gifted For permission to quote or reprint, contact Leigh Kimmel That mentally deficient students need special help, no one denies. But many people forget entirely those students on the opposite end of the intelligence spectrum. Gifted students suffer unnecssarily in their life at school, having trouble with intrapersonal conflicts, interpersonal relationships, schoolwork and forming appropriate social role modles. Although some things are being done to remedy this situation, more needs to be done to prevnt the waste of fine young minds. The gifted are usually defined as those scoring above 120 or 140 on standardized IQ tests. However, there are many gifted students, such as those who have a special aptitude for music or mechanical work, who may not show up well on standardized tests. Recognizing this, we may define the gifted as those who possess an outstanding aptitude for some area of human endeavor. Unfortunately, the gifted often suffer psychological trauma because they are different from average students. They do not fit neatly into the social patterns of the school, and thus they are percived as problems by all concrnd with them. Thus the giftd find thmslvees entrappd in a whol tangled wb of psychological difficulties which can have long-lasting repercussions. Firstly, the giftd suffer from intrapersonal problems; that is, problems within themselves. As they are not like other students, they have strong feelings of isolation and are bored by the activities enjoyed by most students. As they have no peers to relate with, they often have troubl seeing any reason why they should conform to the standards of their non-gifted classmates. In general, their needs are not being met.1 These feelings of detachment from the bulk of society leads to a welter of self-esteem. problems. Such problems can be deadly, for they frequently spur suicidal tendencies in the sensitive gifted.2

Help Sponsored by: LD and ADD/ADHD Question and Answer by Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D. Please Read Our Q. A co-worker asked me to teach her 14-year-old how to read. She's reading on a 2.5 grade level. What are some ways I can help her without boring her to death with children's books and games? Where do I even begin helping her with comprehension and phonics? A. In order to teach this girl how to read you need to know what her problem is. That means knowing the cause of her reading disability. Here is a checklist to consider in answering this question. 1. Has she been taught poorly or has she moved from school to school? If this is the case, then she might benefit from a modified "adult literacy" program. This means that she would be taught to read in a systematic fashion, with the assumption that there are no real barriers, such as learning disabilities or mental retardation, to her acquisition of reading skills. In this case, you could use almost any good reading text from a public school and get her vocabulary words from her daily life, and from the newspaper, and magazines that she might like. For ideas about how to teach phonics, you might try two excellent books by Patricia Cunningham:
