Children who are gifted and have learning disabilities possess a notable skill or aptitude and are capable of excellent performance, but also have a learning handicap that makes some aspects of academic attainment difficulty. We identify some of these children and provide them with the assistance they need. It occurs only rarely unless a school especially decides to identify and then serve these children. This paper presents a visualization of the essential points that must be dealt with to serve gifted children with dyslexia. The researcher has tried to describe children with dyslexia as gifted and has drawn heavily on giftedness and learning disabilities definitions. The idea of？giftedness and learning disability is differently viewed and put forth by the researcher with the help of numerous research reviews. This research paper is helpful for teacher training institutes and educators？to understand the characteristics and needs of gifted children with dyslexia and strategies to assist their learning.
