Experiments conducted in many countries have convincingly shown how difficult it is to rebuild the education system, change the teacher’s attitude toward a gifted child, and remove barriers blocking his talents. Teacher training programs need to contain more material about giftedness, and new teachers must learn how to teach very talented students. Still, they often are not aware of possible learning disabilities they might have. Teachers and parents of gifted children should monitor their giftedness and teach them to keep their strength, work on their weaknesses, and overcome difficulties. In this way, they may succeed and even become recognized worldwide, like Mozart, Picasso, Einstein, and others. This research examines teaching methods and particular strategies deemed appropriate for gifted students and illustrates specific recommendations in the special education environment. It also deals with helping gifted children develop their personalities, create contacts with other people, and overcome learning difficulties, if any.
