Louisiana’s Definition of Gifted Children

“Gifted children and youth are students who demonstrate abilities that give evidence of high performance in academic and intellectual aptitude.”  (Louisiana Admin. Code title 28, § 909.)

Rights of Gifted and Talented Children


FAPE and Full Educational Opportunity for Gifted Children


“Gifted/Talented students and parents acting on their behalf have the right to a free appropriate public education.” 


“Appropriate education is the provision of special education and related services that are designed to meet the individual needs of a student.”


“Free education is the provision of special education without cost to the G/T student or to his parents, except for those fees that are imposed on students without exceptionalities.”

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

The needs of gifted and talented students are included in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2015 (ESEA). Provisions for gifted students were taken from the Talent Act.
