The Use of Radical Acceleration in Cases of Extreme Intellectual Precocity.

Gross, Miraca U. M.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v36 n2 p91-99 Spr 1992

This paper reviews the school histories of five extremely gifted Australian children (IQs 160-200) who had been radically accelerated. A combination of grade skipping and radical subject matter acceleration gave the children access to curricula commensurate with their abilities as well as healthier levels of social self-esteem.
