Making a Difference: Motivating Gifted Students who are not Achieving (2005, background): “First, an apparent underachievement problem may be masking more serious physical, cognitive, or emotional issues, such as a learning disability (Moon & Hall, 1998; Reis & McCoach, 2002).”
Empirical Investigation of Twice-Exceptionality: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going? (2011, background): “It is well documented that academically gifted students can have coexisting ADHD (Cramond, 1995; Reis & McCoach, 2002; Webb & Latimer, 1993), which is one of the most commonly diagnosed (Barkley & Mash, 2003) and extensively researched (Brassett-Harknett & Butler, 2007) childhood conditions.”
School Factors and the Underachievement of Gifted Students in a Talent Search Summer Program (2007, methodology): “…Reis & McCoach, 2002a); conflicts within the family or peer group, including social pressure to mask evidence of high ability (Ford, 1996; White, Sanbonmatsu, Croyle, & Smittipatana, 2002); or even undiagnosed learning disabilities (McClelland, Yewchuk, & Mulcahy, 1993; Reis & McCoach, 2002a).”
Underachievement and Creativity: Are Gifted Underachievers Highly Creative? (2008, background): “Many characteristics of gifted students can seem to be inattentive behaviors, so there is often confusion in understanding traits that could be related to either creativity, ADHD, or both (Cramond, 1994; Hartnett, Nelson, & Rinn, 2004; Leroux & Levitt-Perlman, 2000; Reis & McCoach, 2002).”
