Klappentext

Recognize and support twice-exceptional (2e) learners to help them succeed in school--and beyond. Twice-exceptional (2e) learners have often been misunderstood, disciplined, unchallenged, and left behind. Even as awareness of 2e learners has grown, educators are still in need of practical tools to recognize and support their twice-exceptional students. This book answers that need, providing teachers with accessible information about twice-exceptional diagnoses and suggested accommodations, modifications, and collaboration with other educational professionals. Dedicated to the needs of all 2e learners, the first part of the book covers identifying and understanding 2e students, strength-based instruction, motivation and self-regulation, and executive functioning skills. The second part details how gifted students are affected by another diagnosis, including:

• Specific learning disabilities
• ADHD
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Processing difficulties
• Anxiety-based diagnoses

• Depression and other mood disorders

  With Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom, educators can better identify, support, and meet the needs of their 2e students.
