Abstract
Handicapping conditions which affect communication, such as a hearing loss, make the identification, diagnosis, and provision of services to gifted and talented handicapped students difficult. A hearing loss has no effect on intellectual ability but it is difficult to determine the presence of creativity in hearing impaired children. A survey of programs in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area was conducted and several areas of need were found. Returns showed that programs and support services necessary to meet the unique needs of gifted and talented hearing impaired students were limited.Keywords
