Twice Exceptional (2e) A 2e student has both high IQ as well as a disability or other challenge.
Do you suspect one of your students is Twice Exceptional (2e), but aren't sure what the disability is, or what to do about it? Do you have a diagnosis, but it doesn’t “feel right,” or aren’t sure you’ve uncovered the whole story? Hear about ten common possibilities in detail (such as stealth dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, and dysgraphia), what clues you might notice at home and in the classroom, how to get an official diagnosis, and what accommodations and interventions might be helpful. We'll also discuss the difference between IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) and 504 Plans, why early intervention is so important, the many lookalikes of ADHD, and the national Misdiagnosis Initiative sponsored by SENGifted.org.
