Supporting Twice-Exceptional (2e) Learners at Home and School

Giftedness is a concept that is often complicated and misconstrued within the education community.  When giftedness co-occurs with a documented learning difference (i.e., ADHD, specific learning disabilities), a concept known as twice-exceptionality (2e), then the awareness is even more scarce.  This presentation will overview the definitions of giftedness and twice-exceptionality and explore how these students interact with educational and mental health systems.  This presentation will provide meaningful strategies for intervening with these neurodiverse students, both inside and outside the classroom, and work with attendees to practice them for future implementation
