Description
In many public schools, the mismatch between the needs of gifted students and the services they receive is particularly pronounced when those students, in addition to their giftedness, are faced with the additional challenge of a developmental disability such as Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. This presentation discusses the growing body of research, as well as anecdotal evidence that indicates that online public schools can be effective in meeting the unique needs of these students.
No items are available for this session.
