Twice Exceptional
In an educational system founded on rigid standards and categories, students who demonstrate a very specific manifestation of intelligence flourish, while those who deviate tend to fall between the cracks. Too often, talents and interests that do not align with classroom conventions are left unrecognized and unexplored in children with extraordinary potential but little opportunity. For twice-exceptional (2e) children, who have extraordinary strengths coupled with learning difficulties, the problem is compounded by the paradoxical nature of their intellect and an unbending system, ill-equipped to cater to their unique learning needs. Twice Exceptional: Supporting and Educating Bright and Cre...
Empowering Gifted Minds
The definitive manual on gifted advocacy, this book takes parents and teachers from documenting a child's abilities to providing reasonable educational options year by year. The necessity for daily accommodations in regular instruction (not just enrichment pull-outs) is emphasized by the children themselves--in case studies and their own accounts.
Raising Gifted Children
Raise a happier, healthier gifted child—practical tools and advice for parents Gifted children can be identified as perplexing or troublesome long before they're identified as gifted. Many of the traits that characterize challenging gifted behaviors—such as intensity, sensitivity, and perfectionism—are simply shadows cast by a bright light within. Raising Gifted Children is filled with insights, guidance, up-to-date research, and practical advice to help parents better understand the inner world of their gifted child so they can help them flourish at home, school, and beyond. You'll start by learning the fundamentals of giftedness, from its characteristics to its strengths and challeng...
Bright Not Broken
The future of our society depends on our gifted children—the population in which we’ll find our next Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or “2e.” Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability—often ADHD or an Autism Spectrum Disorder—leading teachers and parents to overlook the child’s talents and focus solely on his weaknesses. Too often, these children get lost in an endless cycle of chasing diagnostic labels and are never given the tools to fully realize their own potential. Bright Not...
Gifted Minds Empowered
There are many books about gifted children. One doesn't need one until that day when a bright, curious child begins to think school isn't nearly as interesting as anticipated--or refuses to go! Where does a parent begin when the kindergartner who is already reading is being taught letter sounds, when the child learning algebra at home is held to simple arithmetic at school, or when any one of myriad other scenarios takes place in which advanced learning needs are ignored, criticized, or even resented? How is the gifted child with disabilities (Twice Exceptional or 2e) identified and supported when only one exceptionality is visible to teachers OR the combination of both appears just average? How does the teacher who truly wants to change gifted students' lives for the better address their needs? Gifted children do not "come with a manual." But, "Gifted Minds Empowered: Advocacy to Develop Gifted Children's Strengths" gives parents, educators, administrators, superintendents and politicians the roadmap they need to navigate "gifted waters." We can do more than just "identify" gifted children; we can develop their strengths! -- from cover

Gifted and Distractible
A practical, research-based guide that demystifies giftedness and learning differences in order to help “twice exceptional” children thrive. Does your child exhibit giftedness and behavioral issues like meltdowns, power struggles, and difficulty relating to their peers? Are they out-of-the-box thinkers requiring different teaching and learning methods? It’s a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. In fact, “twice exceptional” kids—those who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, Autism, or dyslexia—are often misunderstood by parents, teachers, and themselves. This much-needed and empowering guide reveals the unique challenges these remarkable kids face, and offers strength-based, hands-on strategies for understanding, supporting, and advocating for twice exceptional kids. In a world that labels them lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can’t be solved, these tools will help you reimagine the world through your child’s unique perspective—so you can help them thrive.
