What is gifted? We use the term to describe when a person thinks and behaves in ways that are advanced and different when compared to same age peers.  The National Association for Gifted Children (www.nagc.org) defines a gifted person as someone who shows, or has the potential for showing, an exceptional level of performance in one or more of the following areas:

1. •General intellectual ability
   

2. •Specific academic aptitude
   

3. •Creative thinking
   

4. •Leadership ability
   

5. •Visual or performing arts
   

Twice-exceptional is defined as a gifted person with some form of a learning disability, behavioral problem, or any of a variety of other challenges. 

Piedmont G.P.S supports parents, teachers and administrators on ways to meet the unique and special needs of the gifted.
