Rooted in research and practical application, Twice-Exceptional Education emphasizes the importance of professional learning, dual differentiation strategies, and a strengths-based approach to teaching. It empowers teachers and families to recognize the full spectrum of abilities in twice-exceptional students and foster environments that celebrate neurodiversity as a strength, not a barrier.

Twice-exceptional (2e) students are individuals who possess both advanced abilities and disabilities, demonstrating considerable potential while also encountering distinct barriers to their learning. Often misunderstood and underserved, these learners can struggle to find their place in traditional education systems that separate giftedness from learning or behavioral differences.

This groundbreaking book explores the duality of 2e learners and calls for a transformative shift in how we educate them. It offers educators, administrators, and support staff the tools and understanding needed to build inclusive classrooms focused on talent development where 2e students thrive both academically and emotionally.

Whether you’re new to 2e education or seeking to deepen your expertise, this essential guide provides a
clear path forward in meeting the needs of some of our most complex and remarkable learners.
