Join Us Virtually
Event Details
Twice-exceptional students represent a uniquely complex and often overlooked group within gifted education— especially those with varied perspectives whose strengths and challenges can mask one another. This session explores how educators can better identify, understand, and nurture these learners through thoughtful approaches to assessment, instruction, and support, while parents gain tools to effectively advocate for their unique children.
