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.

In this course, participants will:
  • 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

    1. Jose – EL PASO ISD (verified owner)

      Good course. Go at your own pace and can review video portions for better understanding.

    2. Diana – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      Informative

    3. Stephanie – SPRING ISD (verified owner)

      I like how she tied in the issues with her step-daughter. It made it easier to understand.

    4. Olivia – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      Very interesting

    5. Nancy – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner)

      It was very helpful
      I really like the explanation from the student about her personal experience

    6. Carolyn – Angleton ISD (verified owner)

      I think this was a very heartfelt pd, but I was pretty offended by her comments about ADHD medication. When students who are not prescribed stimulants take them, it’s actually detrimental to their performance. I appreciate the personal story, but I wish she wouldn’t have made that remark.

    7. Tanya – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner)

      Very good explanations and examples

    8. Laura – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      I will always advocate for a program where a GT Teacher solely concentrates and oversees for the department, curriculum, testing, and teaching. We need an exemplary GT program here at UISD not one where teachers get trainings like these and certify that they are fit to meet the need of all GT students.

    9. Nora – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      I agree

    10. Kelley – LAREDO ISD (verified owner)

      very informative
