Primary care physicians can play a key role in helping patients who are intellectually and cognitively gifted get the resources they need, including children who may otherwise be missed. Thomas Flynn, PhD, a pediatric neuropsychologist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, discusses: characteristics a primary care physician can look for that may predict a high likelihood of being gifted; pros and cons of knowing a child’s IQ; variabilities in testing; racial and ethnic disparities in identifying intellectually gifted children; the pediatrician’s role in advocating for testing for children; “twice exceptional” children who are gifted and have ADHD or a learning disability; impact of giftedness on mental health; and more.
