Abstract
Although the gifted represent an enormous asset to our society, most societies worldwide neglect this very important segment of the population and their potential contribution, relegating it to a poorly tapped national resource. This neglect is manifested by the apparent lack of concern and effective tools for studying giftedness as well as identifying the gifted and creating special education programs to help them realize their potential. The disadvantaged gifted are even more difficult to identify and create educational programs for because of the impact of the disadvantageous conditions in which they live. The result of this neglect often has a negative effect on the gifted personally as well as extracts an incalculable price for society in general for failing to channel the most brilliant minds amongst us into the arts, sciences and leadership.
