Twice-Exceptional (2e) learners are both gifted and have another diagnosis (such as autism, ADHD, learning disability, anxiety, and others). They need support for both their advanced cognitive abilities and areas of struggle.

 

This seminar invites classroom teachers, special educators, gifted resource teachers, counselors, and parents to hear from one of the most knowledgeable educators on twice-exceptional (2e) children. Participants will learn strategies for building on strengths while supporting challenging areas and gain confidence to interact with children and young people who are 2e.

 

 

History of the Seminar

Our first seminar on the topic of twice-exceptional (2e) learners was held in September 2011, initially supported by the Twice-Exceptional Foundation, which was funded by the Arts Education Task Force established by Flora Templeton Stuart. Almost every year since then, we have offered a Twice-Exceptional Student Seminar to provide information and strategies on supporting these learners, who are defined as having at least one exceptional ability and disability. All presenters are world-renowned experts on the topic. Although educators have often made up the bulk of the audience, parents and students themselves are welcome.
