Abstract
Gifted students constitute a group of the student population, which has widely preoccupied the scientific community over the last few decades. The rich potential as well as the difficulties that students of this category may encounter in their school and social environment are multiple, and as a result, they need counselling support in order to be in position to manage the diversity that distinguishes them. Counselling can address both personal difficulties and issues of vocational guidance and decision making. In the aforementioned field, a vocational guidance programme, which is tailored to the gifted students’ profile and needs, is considered to be a useful support scheme. The goal of such processes is the student's self-awareness. In special education -and particularly in the case of gifted children- vocational guidance is expected to further take into account the individuals’ specific characteristics and special needs, the rights arising from these needs, as well as society's attitude towards them.
