Anchoring Conceptions of “Twice Exceptionality” in Reality

Anchoring Conceptions of Twice Exceptionality in Reality

Saturday, November 11, 2023
2:30 PM – 3:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Durango 1
Conceptualizing Twice Exceptionality (2e) appears quite simple, describing students identified as gifted and diagnosed with an additional exceptionality. However, a more complex, masking interaction exists, making “identifying” or “diagnosing” quite challenging. This session explores how researchers have operationalized this interaction and proposes a synthesized conception to ensure that 2e students are identified and provided appropriate services in reality.

Learning Objectives:

  • Critique the definition of 2e
  • Describe how empirical studies have operationalized 2e
  • Apply the synthesized conception within their own practice to identify and support 2e students
