Students presenting with both high cognitive/academic ability and a disability (e.g., Autism, ADHD, Learning Disorder) are referred to as “twice exceptional.” This population presents with a unique set of social-emotional needs due to their asynchronous development and limited access to specialized support. This presentation will provide an overview of twice-exceptionality, identify key challenges and vulnerabilities for this population, and offer evidence-based recommendations for supporting the social-emotional well being of twice-exceptional students in the classroom.

What You Will Learn: 

1. Demonstrate understanding of the concept of twice-exceptionality.
2. Be able to identify key challenges and vulnerabilities experienced by twice-exceptional students.
3. Be able to identify strategies for supporting the social-emotional well-being of twice-exceptional students at school.
