The Davidson Institute’s Director of Outreach Megan Cannella was quoted in the Vox.com article, “Does being a gifted kid make for a burned-out adulthood?”
“The kiddos we work with here at the Davidson Institute are in three standard deviations above [average] intelligence,” says Cannella. “If they were three standard deviations below, there would be an expectation that there should be support and extra services and a better understanding of how their brain works. And rightfully so! Kids at the other end of this bell curve deserve all of those services and many more. Your brain works just as differently, just in a different way.”
