A Parents’ Guide to Understanding and Supporting Twice-Exceptional Children
Twice-exceptional children — those who are gifted and have a learning disability or neurological disorder like ADHD — often struggle with issues related to social-emotional growth and/or regulation. As a result, many of these students battle anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, social anxiety, and executive dysfunction.
Dr. Michael Postma outlines the latest neurological research on the twice-exceptional brain and how it affects self-understanding.
- The latest research on typical and atypical brain development
- The facts about atypical brain development and what it looks like in daily life
- The foundations of neurodiversity and its impact on daily living
- Why neurodiversity matters with twice-exceptional children
