"There exists in the school-age population a group of students who appear to be a contradiction in terms. These are children who can legitimately be called gifted, and yet at the same time, be labeled learning disabled. It appears that this group has gone undetected and because of this has not received appropriate or necessary services."

From the book “Teaching the Gifted/Learning Disabled Child” by Dr. Paul Daniels
