What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Advanced Learning
"Gifted and talented children" means those persons between the ages of five and twenty-one whose abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishment are so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational programming needs.
How services work: The ALP is based on student needs and interests and may include such programming options as acceleration, differentiated instruction, enrichment activities, and affective counseling and guidance.
How students are identified: Identifying a gifted child begins with a referral initiated by a parent, teacher, self, peer, or community member.

State context
Colorado gifted education requirements
Colorado requires administrative units to identify and serve gifted learners and to maintain comprehensive and annual program plans under the Exceptional Children's Educational Act.
For families: Identification uses a body of evidence rather than one score. Every identified learner receives an Advanced Learning Plan, while available programming and optional early access vary locally.
