This study used the case study approach with fifteen “disadvantaged” gifted adolescents. The students completed questionnaires, and follow-up interviews were conducted with the students and at least one parent. The importance of families as a source of encouragement and support was noted by all the students. In addition to families, schools played an important role in acknowledging and encouraging abilities. The question remains open as to how these students will traverse the next stage of their talent development.
