Removing_2E_Masks


 * Removing the Masks of Multi-Exceptionalities **

===//What happens when a child’s giftedness seems to “cancel out” a learning disability? Often, neither exceptionality is properly identified, resulting in frustration, anxiety and depression. Discover helpful strategies for recognizing and supporting 2E students and hear firsthand from a student whose “stealth” dyslexia and processing disorder masked her giftedness for over a decade. //===

Resources //(A special "thank-you" to Lori Comallie-Caplan, SENG president, for numerous suggestions on resources and testing!)//

How do I find a professional trained to test gifted individuals? SENG Recognized Professionals: [] Hoagie's "Professionals Familiar With the Gifted": [] Ask questions such as: ◘ What testing battery do you use and what definition of gifted will you be basing your diagnosis upon - inquire about extended norms and verify that if using the WISC, he/she will calculate the GAI in addition to the FSIQ. ◘ How does evaluating a non-gifted child differ from a gifted child? ◘ Are there any particular problems or behaviors that you see among gifted children that you don’t see in the general population? ◘ What are some of the particular social and emotional needs you have noticed among the gifted children you serve? ◘ How do you distinguish among ADHD behaviors and similar behaviors that are attributable to being gifted? ◘ How does your recommendations of gifted children differ from your recommendations of non-gifted children? ◘ About what percent of your practice is made up of evaluation of gifted children? Highly gifted children? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">◘ How do you involve parents in the evaluation of their child?
