Abstract

Based on the current Spanish legislation on education, high abilities are included in the frame of educational, specific needs calling for educational support.

This proposal is aimed at promoting a balanced development of all learning objectives at the outset of the classroom program. A stepwise description of the proposal is offered: moving from the assessment of gifted students, to the planning, the educational intervention, the specific educational proposal, and the development of complementary programs.
