Publisher's Synopsis

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.
