Education of the Gifted and Talented Student The term "exceptional child" is a broad and inclusive label that refers to a significant percent of the child population. Quite generally, it includes any child who exhibits attributes, characteristics and/or abilities that fall significantly above or below the norm. These are students which, due to their levels of ability, demonstrate the need for special education and educational services that they would not ordinarily receive in the regular classroom. The federal government has officially recognized the necessity of our educational system to meet the needs of such students, and has passed legislation mandating policies to accommodate them. However, a great deal of inequality exists in our special education system. Most interest, attention and concern is geared toward educating the retarded and/or disabled, while neglecting to recognize the equally important needs of our gifted and talented students.

There is great diversity
