The reading characteristics of gifted literacy disabled students

چکیده
The existence of gifted students who have learning difficulties has been well documented (Brody & Mills, 1997; Dix & Schafer, 1996; Ellston, 1993 ; Fetzer, 2000; Hishinuma & Tadaki, 1996; Rivera, Murdock, & Sexton, 1995).

Even when they are correctly identified, gifted and learning disabled ...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of nonverbally gifted reading disabled adults: has deficit compensation effected gifted potential?
Neuroscience has advanced our understanding of the neurological basis of reading disability (RD). Yet, no functional imaging work has been reported on the twice-exceptional dyslexic: individuals exhibiting both non-verbal-giftedness and RD. We compared groups of reading-disabled (RD), non-verbally-gifted (G), non-verbally-gifted-RD (GRD), and control (C) adults on validated word-rhyming and spa...
