Students with intellectual abilities and academic skills at or above the 98th percentile are referred to as "Gifted and Talented." Such students often:

  • Learn academic skills easily with little apparent effort
  • Have excellent oral language and reasoning abilities
  • Have a superb, insightful sense of humor
  • Like to experiment, create and imagine
  • Analyze and combine ideas in a novel manner
  • Retain extensive information with a single presentation
  • Are capable of intense concentration and sustained attention
  • Have a wide range of interests and activities
  • Have a natural joy of learning and curiosity about the world

Gifted children have many advantages over other students; however, they also can face the same challenges, obstacles and disabilities as any other student in the Bay Area. Gifted children may have issues with learning, attention, depression and anxiety. In addition, their unique attributes can lead to social issues.

At The Pratt Center, we can complete psychological testing to determine if a child is gifted, clarify areas of need, recommend modifications to their education and assist with school selection.
