"Does your child exhibit giftedness and behavioral issues like meltdowns, power struggles, and difficulty relating to their peers? Are they out-of-the-box thinkers requiring different teaching and learning methods? It's a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. In fact, "twice exceptional" kids--those who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, high-functioning autism, or dyslexia--are often misunderstood by parents, teachers, and themselves. This much-needed and empowering guide reveals the unique challenges these remarkable kids face, and offers strength-based, hands-on strategies for understanding, supporting, and advocating for twice exceptional kids. In a world that labels them lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can't be solved, these tools will help you reimagine the world through your child's unique perspective-so you can help them thrive"--From publisher.
