Context and relevance. The problem of student giftedness is very relevant, as it requires a holistic approach to meeting the complex needs of such students, which often include increased emotional tension, developmental asynchrony, and potential difficulties in communicating with peers and meeting the requirements of a standard curriculum. Addressing the problem of giftedness is crucial to prevent academic failure, promote academic and emotional growth, and provide specialized educational and psychological support that addresses the unique cognitive and emotional characteristics of gifted children, including those who are doubly exceptional.
