SESSION: SQUARE PEGS - UNDERSTANDING TWICE EXCEPTIONAL LEARNERS
Children who are both very bright and have a learning difference can have unique needs. Their ability to compensate can make it hard to figure out where exactly they need support and enrichment. In this workshop, we delve deeper into what 2E is, how to spot it using assessment results or anecdotal measures you can use at home, and look at home schooling strategies that support both ends of their learning spectrum.
I’m working on making this world a place where all kids can achieve their dreams and share their incredible gifts with us all. I am a structured literacy & math interventionist. Unlocking the hidden talents of the young people I work with is my absolute passion. Along with my formal training, comes the experiences of being a dyslexic kid, parenting a differently wired kid and a nerdy passion for continuing to seek out new research-based pedagogies to continually refine and improve my practice.
