Written by experts in the fields of education and psychology, each chapter applies core principles of psychology to the development of gifted and talented children. Through the content, readers will be shown how these children are like all children as well as the ways in which their development is unique.

The text also includes Field Notes and Eye for Diversity sections to enable readers to put into practice, and recognize, important issues being discussed.

Throughout, the editors blend discussions of research with practical advice for individuals charged with nurturing children with advanced cognitive potential. It is an essential read for students, counsellors, administrators, therapists, and parents seeking to support high ability children and their needs.

Industry Reviews

'This book will become the definitive resource on the physical, social, and cognitive development of advanced learners. It provides an honest accounting of how they are unique, where they are not, and what questions remain unanswered.'
