Asian Americans 1 constitute the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States population, and an incredible diversity exists among Asian-American groups with respect to language, values and beliefs, socioeconomic status, acculturation, and ethnic identity. Yet research involving gifted Asian Americans is limited. Suggestions for teaching and counseling are rare, and most literature addresses only identification concerns. This article calls attention to the deficits in the current literature; analyzes the numerous factors that influence the intellectual, social, and emotional development of gifted Asian Americans; summarizes recommended curricular and counseling practices; and suggests future directions for research and interventions.
