Abstract

This chapter reviews a model for educating and counseling academically talented youth developed by research from the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY). The model focuses on aligning the personal characteristics of students with matching educational opportunities to facilitate appropriate developmental placement. This can, in turn, lead to greater educational, occupational, and creative success for these students.
