Definition of Gifted and Talented: “Educators of the D’Hanis ISD believe gifted and talented students are those children whose abilities, talents and potential for accomplishments are so outstanding that they require special provisions to meet their educational needs. We define gifted and talented students by following the Texas state definition as “those who excel consistently or who show potential to excel in general intellectual ability…” These students require educational experiences beyond those normally provided by the regular school program. We will serve those students identified in the general intellectual ability area.” (Source: Handbook on Gifted Education, DISD)
