this paper focuses on critical issues related to the identification of mathematically gifted children with learning difficulties (lds). one purpose of the study is to broaden teachers' and educators' insight into the identification of gifted students with lds, sometimes referred to as dual-exceptional children. a multiple case study approach was adopted and 5 case study profiles of mathematically gifted students with lds in Years 4-6, ages 9 to 11 years and 5 months, were developed. an assessment plan was used to combine aspects of lds and giftedness in an attempt to provide a multidimensional evaluation. the students received a multidimensional assessment, which indicates that psychometric test scores need to be supplemented with dynamic and informal assessments; historical data; task analysis of permanent products; and information from parents, teachers, and students.
