Abstract

The population with functional diversity in Puerto Rico needs distinct attention, follow-up care, and specialized services. The twice-exceptional group is part of the functional diversity population, which are gifted people with functional diversity. Following this theme throughout the article, definitions will be utilized, public policies, newspapers, perspectives, recommendations, statistics, and human rights that are related to the functionally diverse population in Puerto Rico. This group is continuously growing on the island, their rights are not being upheld and the education services to this population is deteriorating. It is important to recognize the challenges this group experiences day by day and to find ways to offer them a good quality of life. In the discussion, there’s going to be a multicultural approach, anti-oppressive, and critique on behalf of the social workers in defense of this population.
