Description
“Gifted, ADHD, Either, Neither, or Both?” with Debra Troxclair, Ph.D., will explore the idea that many characteristics that don’t seem “normal” are actually very “typical” traits of giftedness.

- The similarities and differences of characteristics and behaviors of giftedness and ADHD
- Why giftedness is often misdiagnosed as ADHD
- How to help other educators understand what to do if a gifted child is suspected of having ADHD
