Short description: Twice-Exceptional (2e) students present with profound strengths and weaknesses, and teachers may be unsure how to serve the disparate needs of these students. In this presentation, attendees learn essential strategies for helping 2e students succeed in school. Themes center on increased understanding, assessment, accommodations, and interventions.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will:
Be better equipped to recognize 2e students in their classrooms and view challenging behaviors as manifestations of their talents and disabilities rather than intentional and malevolent actions
Gain strategies for supporting 2e students in their classrooms that they can employ immediately, as well as interventions that may require more time to implement
