The current research aims to identify the difficulties and psychological needs of gifted individuals in pre-university education, followed by the study of the effectiveness of a training program to activate the role of the psychological specialist in discovering and caring for the gifted during the pre-university education stage. The sample consists of 60 psychological specialists divided into two groups (experimental and control), each comprising 30 psychological specialists. The researchers prepared a training program to enhance the psychological specialist's ability to discover and care for the gifted in pre-university education. To conduct the research, the researchers applied a scale of the School Psychologist's Role Scale in Discovering and Developing Talent before the intervention. Then, they implemented the training program sessions on the experimental group and assessed the achievement of the intended goals. Afterward, they applied the scale of the School Psychologist's Role Scale in Discovering and Developing Talent post-intervention. Statistical analyses were conducted using the t-test for independent and correlated groups. The researchers calculated the effect size and the program's effectiveness, indicating a very strong impact of the program in improving the psychological specialist's ability to discover talents and face challenges and difficulties that the psychological specialist may encounter. The researchers interpreted the high effectiveness of the program considering its importance in the current study for the research sample, as psychological specialists are key pillars in the discovery of gifted individuals in schools. They also explained the remaining results in the context of the training program's nature, content, objectives, theoretical framework, and previous studies on the current research variables.
