Both gifted and learning disabled, twice-exceptional (2e) students are a challenge both academically and behaviourally; however, with understanding and appropriate motivation and support, they can become enthusiastic and productive learners. This workshop presents 2e through a positive lens, providing a comprehensive description of the social, emotional, and learning characteristics of 2e students, and explains the impact of those characteristics on behavior and academic performance. Emotional sensitivities of 2e students are discussed, including the effect of asynchronous development on 2e learners. Participants learn effective interventions and strategies that support the needs of 2e children and adolescents.
