In this interview, Dr. Dan Peters, psychologist, author, co-founder, and Executive Director of the Summit Center will explain what it means to be twice-exceptional, how to test for it, and what you can do to support your 2e child.
There is a debate within the education field on whether gifted and talented programs should be separated. Dr. Dan Peters discusses the difference between the two, explaining that that giftedness is when a person has advanced cognitive potential in one or more areas. Whereas, talent is when a person is actually showing their aptitude, skill, or thinking in specific areas such as advanced math, robotics, or writing.
Being gifted and talented is a good thing, but this doesn't mean that you can do everything well or that everything will come easy. This is often surprising for parents to learn as many people assume that giftedness is always associated with high performance. Yet it is possible for a learning disability to overshadow giftedness. There can be giftedness in one subject, such as math, but a learning disability that affects performance in other areas of the curriculum. Some gifted children with great potential may also have a disability such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, ADD, ADHD, and autism, that they struggle with and this is known as being twice-exceptional.
Dr. Peters will give you some insight on how to identify your kid as 2e (or twice-exceptional) and what you need to do to support them.
The Summit Center provides psychological and educational services for children and families, including assessments, consultation, and counseling.
