  • Gifted students are typically those with exceptional cognitive and learning abilities. Among them, some may possess extraordinary talents in one or more specific areas while simultaneously facing physical and mental disabilities and challenges. As potential talent resources, it is crucial for educators to accurately understand their strengths and obstacles,employ teaching strategies that can overcome their barriers and maximize their potential, thereby fully meeting their educational needs. This paper first describes the general profile and common characteristics of twice-exceptional students in the way of narrative literature review, so as to help educators identifying and recognizing these students. Then discusses the various academic challenges they face due to their physical and mental characteristics. Finally, based on the concept of evidence-based practice, it provides some supportive educational strategies for reference.
