What characterizes gifted children?

They need special treatment only during assessments
They require differential educational programs and services
They excel only in sports and arts
They perform similarly to their peers

The correct answer is: They require differential educational programs and services

Gifted children are characterized by their advanced abilities and potential that often exceed typical developmental levels in one or more areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or even in leadership roles. Because of these exceptional capabilities, they require differential educational programs and services that are specifically designed to challenge them and cater to their unique learning needs. This may include accelerated learning opportunities, enrichment programs, or specialized curricula that encourage deeper exploration of subjects and foster critical thinking skills. The other options do not accurately reflect the needs and characteristics of gifted children. Special treatment only during assessments overlooks the ongoing support these students require throughout their educational journey. Claiming that they excel only in sports and arts limits the definition of giftedness to specific areas, whereas giftedness can manifest across various domains. Lastly, stating that they perform similarly to their peers fails to recognize the significant differences in cognitive and learning abilities that define gifted children.
