Description
What happens when a child’s giftedness seems to “cancel” a learning disability? Often, neither exceptionality is properly identified, resulting in frustration, anxiety and depression. Discover helpful strategies for recognizing and supporting twice-exceptional students and hear firsthand from a student whose “stealth” dyslexia and processing disorder masked her giftedness for over a decade.
- Hear first-hand what it means to be multi-exceptional from a student who is gifted and dyslexic
- Understand the academic and emotional challenges faced in working with and/or living with a student who has multi-exceptionalities
- Analyze the positive and negative impact that labeling may have on both a child and the parents
- Increase their awareness of the “masks” that multi-exceptional students may wear and strategies for aiding them

This course is pedagogy or methods of teaching with gifted children. After teaching for 15 years, this teacher is in need of strategies and resources. One hour long video seemed excessive to get the points of this part of the training.
Jimmy – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
It was fine. Having it be a personal familial relationship with firsthand knowledge bolsters credibility
Eric – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
Informationally, this isn’t too bad; however, the way in which the presenter used her daughter as a prop honestly left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Benard Owusu – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

Straight forward presentation on the issues both positive and negative multi-exceptional students face and how to work with them.
