Abstract

This work contains a Plan of Psycho-educational intervention for gifted children with a multidimensional approach, according to which the notion of intelligence is composed of multiple components, which are relatively independent but still essential for the optimal development of super-talented children. Its overall objective is to implement an educational plan for extracurricular enrichment EPEEI directed to the comprehensive care of super-talented children as at an early age, through its application in the field. The method used was developed in two stages. The first stage involved three fields of intervention: a) Individual care psychology programs to encourage children, according to their strengths. b) Support activities and training for the parents on the subject of super-talented children. c) Guidance and training to teachers. The second phase involved trying the plan for a period of approximately 6 months. According to the results, it was proven that super-talented children in our environment are lacking psycho-pedagogical opportunities that genuinely meet their special educational needs. Both schools and families, lacked the information and training necessary to address the identified cases. They demonstrated disorientation, frustration and ignorance of the possible services and resources that could offer support in this task (For example: Information and communication technologies).
