Giftedness implies a set of traits that make individuals more advanced than their peers in one or more areas. Because of their specific abilities and interests, in order for their needs to be met, gifted children require a special intracurricular approach. The parental perspective is recognized as an important item in order to improve the quality of the educational process, because parents are the ones who play the main role in the child's life and, as such, best recognize their needs. The goal of this thesis is to get a parent's perspective on the adaptability of the school system to gifted children, to see more closely what are the challenges that parents face every day, what are their expectations and what aspirations they have for continuing their education. Qualitative research was conducted on a purposive sample of 12 parents of gifted children in the form of a semi-structured interview. The results showed that the regular educational process is based on the needs of the average child, while gifted children, who belong to the group of children with special educational needs, still do not receive a sufficiently adapted approach. Today, giftedness still remains an insufficiently researched phenomenon with a lack of implementation of quality educational policies in practice. As a potential solution, the creation of an individualized plan and program by teachers and professional associates is suggested, but this type of approach is still lacking in modern education. The Republic of Croatia should follow the example of highly developed countries that invest in gifted children and consider them an essential resource for social progress. For now, everything remains mainly on theoretical guidelines, which, although they meet all the necessary predispositions for the development of gifted children, are not adequately implemented in practice.
