Quantitatively, 76% of the highly-profoundly gifted children and adolescents had 3 or more "high" overexcitabilities. As stakeholders responsible for the education, development, and well-being of our students, we MUST include an assessment of overexcitabilities (emotional, intellectual, imaginational, psychomotor, sensual), in addition to cognitive ability, for the holistic and inclusive identification, and support of our K-12 highly-profoundly gifted individuals. https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/8/817
