Discovering Intellectual Strengths and Capabilities while Observing Varied Ethnic Responses (DISCOVER) is an on-going program of research and development that began in 1987. The primary goal of the project is to design better ways to assess and develop the problem solving abilities of children and youth. Stemming from my doctoral dissertation in which I identified problem solving as a key component in the achievements of successful scientists with disabilities, I (1993; 1978; 1981; Whitmore & Maker, 1985), have investigated problem solving in varied domains, with diverse populations in projects funded by the Javits Gifted and Talented Education Program and The Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs in the United States Department of Education. In this article, I will summarize the important ideas and the research completed, both published and unpublished.
