From the Inside Flap
Students who are gifted, but who struggle with a learning disability or attention deficit are a strange paradox--they have special intellectual gifts, but are unsuccessful with certain basic learning tasks. Their potential is at great risk of going untapped and undeveloped because the major focus of educational intervention is on what these students do not know and cannot do rather than on nurturing their talents. These students require special attention, and it is vital that schools pay attention to the gifts as well as teh learning difficulties.

The book gives you a better understanding of this phenomena.,
By A Customer
This review is from: To Be Gifted and Learning Disabled: From Definitions to Practical Intervention Strategies (Paperback)
Susan Baum's book helps parents, teachers, and other interested parties understand the gifted/learning disabled phenomena. Being "twice exceptional" is frustrating for all involved, but especially for the student. This book details diagnosis and intervention suggestions that help immensely. This is one of the best of the few books available concerning this learning problem.
