A learner who is twice-exceptional are those students who have two areas of exceptionality.  An area which is increasing growing are gifted learners which have ADHD.  When we consider the alarming rate that twice-exceptional learners are being identified, we have to also take into consideration that our schools are not properly prepared to deal with these students.  Many teachers are ill-equipped and lack the basic skills necessary to identify and teach these specific learners as they are not addressed within teacher development programs.  The question remains what are the options that a parent has in the event that they have to advocate for their child?  I will be exploring this subject further in future posts.
