Twice-exceptional learners are a unique layering of advanced cognitive ability (giftedness) and neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.). Sometimes, their giftedness hides their struggles, until they are no longer able to compensate for their difficulties. Other times, their disability overshadows their giftedness, leaving them without the opportunity for advanced learning. Teachers who understand how these factors interplay and develop strategies to use strengths-based accommodations give twice-exceptional learners the chance to succeed that they deserve.

In this recorded edWebinar, discover:

• The attributes of twice-exceptional learners
• Considerations for assessments and identification of twice-exceptional learners
• How to identify and provide appropriate accommodations in the gifted, general, and special education classrooms

This recorded edWebinar will benefit K-12 classroom teachers, gifted teachers, special education teachers, school counselors, and administrators.
