Description
A national twice-exceptional needs assessment was conducted to survey professionals about current intervention systems for, and beliefs about, twice-exceptional students. Sessions attendees learn the results of this assessment, where data was gathered concerning participants’ familiarity with state and federal guidelines for special education, RtI, and gifted education; understanding of and experience with specific groups of twice-exceptional students (i.e., gifted students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disabilities); and use of specific interventions with these populations. Prevalence estimates are reported along with qualitative reports of states’ current practices and policies relevant for twice-exceptional students.
No items are available for this session.
