A University-Based Summer Program for a Highly Able but Poorly Achieving Indian Child.

Scruggs, Thomas E.; Cohn, Sanford J.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v27 n2 p90-93 Spr 1983

A case study of an eight-year-old gifted underachieving Native American is presented to illustrate the importance of ability training in skill deficit areas (rather than a mistaken attempt to teach processes) and of specifically stated objectives. Difficulties in assessment and identification are noted. (CL)
