Abstract
Students who are concomitantly gifted and learning disabled continue to present educators with a significant quandary regarding programming. While previous studies have concentrated on the disabilities of students, this analysis focuses on their personal strengths. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of a highly structured, personally tailored enrichment program on the attitudes, self-concepts, and creative productivity of 108 gifted/LD youngsters enrolled in the fourth through sixth grades. Results indicate that year-long participation in such a program had significant positive impact on attitudes toward school, self-concept, and creative production.Keywords
