Adolescence and Profound Giftedness

Part 18 of Davidson Gifted Perspectives, a video series that examines a number of different gifted-related issues and viewpoints.

Sometimes, people think of giftedness as an identity that only children have. There’s still a stereotype that someone “grows out of giftedness.” But, with giftedness being a brain-based difference, it’s more conducive to see giftedness as a lifelong cognitive profile. During one of our virtual events, a parent asked about resources for profoundly gifted high schoolers. Our Director of Family Services shares her thoughts, insights, and resources that come to her mind.
