Gifted and Learning Disabled? It Is Possible! Lynda Conover University of Virginia Virginia Association for the Education of the Gifted Newsletter Volume 17, Number 3, Summer 1996 In a recent conversation with the mother of a former student, I learned that her son, Rob, had been placed in the gifted class for math in the school he now attends. His mother was very pleased but told me that, because Rob is also learning disabled, she went to speak with the math teacher to explain accommodations Rob might need. She was stunned to hear the teacher say that, had she known about Rob's learning disability, she would never have allowed him to be placed in her class. The teacher went on to say that it was not possible to be gifted and learning disabled. Rob's mother will keep close tabs on his situation and Tommy did learn to read through a very structured program, while I'm left wondering how we can help teachers accept that students may be gifted and learning disabled and how we can better prepare them to identify and meet the needs of these students. As we take a closer look at this seemingly strange combination, it will be good to keep in mind the heterogeneity found in nearly every group of students with whom we, as teachers and administrators, work. Spend a day in a gifted resource class and you will begin to notice that gifted students vary tremendously in terms of learning styles, readiness, and interests. So, too, do those in the learning disabilities resource room and the regular classroom as well!

64. ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder - Hyperactivity - ADHD - Holistic Medicine, ADD attention deficit disorder Hyperactivity Success. The vast majority of medical doctors consider attention deficit disorder (ADD) to be of unknown causes. http://www.all-natural.com/add.html

by Dr. Allen Buresz What Are the True Facts? The vast majority of medical doctors consider Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) to be of unknown causes. Yet it's a known fact that the elimination of food additives and refined sugar produces dramatic improvements. Why haven't you been told this well-known fact? CONSIDERING THE ADVERTISING REVENUES, IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO SEE WHY THE PRINT AND BROADCAST MEDIA HAVE, FOR THE MOST PART, REFUSED TO PUBLICIZE THIS VITAL INFORMATION! Studies on Food Additive Use and Intelligence Food Additives and Hyperactivity in Children ADD interferes with the child's home, school and social life. Unable to screen out stimuli, the child is easily distracted. This usually intelligent child receives a label of being "learning-disabled" and finds the nervous system cannot be slowed down to focus long enough to complete an assigned task. Other symptoms may be head knocking, self-destructiveness, temper tantrums, clumsiness and sleep disturbances. ADD may exist with or without the hyperactivity aspect. ADD has been diagnosed for hundreds of years, but more recently has become more prevalent due to the increased use of chemicals, pollutants, or heavy metal toxicity (such as lead, mercury, and cadmium). One estimate quotes over l.3 million with Attention Deficit Disorder; another source quotes up to 3 million with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

When people ask me about this, I tell them that I can only answer for the children and adults that I have evaluated or treated. Yes, there probably are some individuals who have received medication when some other treatment might have been better. On the other hand, there are probably others who were not been diagnosed for years and could have benefited from medication. Finally, even if someone has attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and is on medication, is it the best medication, dosage and timing?

Mind Introduction "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." -Albert Einstein. "If we use a road map to plan a trip from coast-to-coast, we often find ourselves detouring from that plan to travel 'off the beaten path' to experience something different. Despite these 'detours' we still arrive at our destination. So too our lives are destined, some may just take longer due to their choices in detours. The journey begins...where all great ideas start, conceived as a notion then realized as substance. On the path of life, there are many seeds of inspiration left for our gathering. These are but a humble collection of some of those seeds." george d. nicholls, spiritual seeds Titles of the reviewed links are alphabetized for the Mind section.

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER: Beyond the Myths U.S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Washington, D.C. (opens in a new window) MYTH: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) does not really exist. It is simply the latest excuse for parents who do not discipline their children. FACT: Scientific research tells us ADD is a biologically-based disorder that includes distractibility, impulsiveness, and sometimes hyperactivity. While the causes of ADD are not fully understood, recent research suggests that ADD can be inherited and may be due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters chemicals used by the brain to control behavior or abnormal glucose metabolism in the central nervous system. Before a student is labeled ADD, other possible causes of his or her behavior are ruled out. MYTH: Children with ADD are no different from their peers; all children have a hard time sitting still and paying attention. FACT: Before children are considered to have ADD, they must show symptoms that demonstrate behavior greatly different from what is expected for children of their age and background. They start to show the behaviors characteristic of ADD between ages three and seven, including fidgeting; restlessness; difficulty remaining seated; being easily distracted; difficulty waiting their turn; blurting out answers; difficulty obeying instructions; difficulty paying attention; shifting from one uncompleted activity to another; difficulty playing quietly; talking excessively; interrupting; not listening; often losing things; and not considering the consequences of their actions.

72. Learning Disabilities OnLine: The ABCs Of LD And ADD What is attention deficit disorder? Come explore LD InDepth, our information bank on learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder. http://www.ldonline.org/abcs_info/articles-info.html

Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) What is a learning disability? LD is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up in many ways: as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read, write, or do math. For more general information on learning disabilities, please visit LD In-General in our LD In-Depth section. [Source: National Institutes of Health, 1993] What are the types of learning disabilities? LD is a broad term that covers a pool of possible causes, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes. Because of this it is difficult to diagnose or to pinpoint the causes. Learning Disabilities can be divided up into three broad categories. These types of learning disabilities include: Developmental speech and language disorders Academic skills disorders "

73. The Hunter School, A Private Day And Boarding School For Children With ADD State certified day and boarding school for children with attention deficit disorder, located in New Hampshire. http://www.hunterschool.org/

The staff at The Hunter School has been professional and extremely supportive in our effort to provide an appropriate program for one of our students. It is a pleasure to say this student has made much progress, which has been possible through the caring and knowledgeable staff at the school. N. T., NH Special Ed. Director The Hunter School is a private day and boarding school for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and/or related conditions. We view children with ADHD as possessing a powerful talent to learn and succeed. Children with ADD think faster and can perceive a wider range of stimuli than other children. They are, in fact, able to simultaneously perceive many things. Thom Hartmann introduced the theory of hunters and farmers in his ground-breaking book, Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception. In its introduction, Thom Hartman states, "This book is the first I know of to present the idea that ADD is not always a disorder but instead may be a trait of personality and metabolism; that ADD comes from a specific evolutionary need in the history of humankind; that ADD can actually be an advantage (depending on the circumstances); and that, through an understanding of the mechanism which led to ADD's presence in our gene pool, we can recreate our schools and workplaces to not only accommodate ADD individuals, but allow them to again become the powers behind the cultural, political, and scientific change which they so often historically represented."
