When a child is diagnosed with one or more disabilities and demonstrates potential for high achievement, parents may be overwhelmed and under-informed about how to best support them. Sharing a list of vetted resources, the presenters enable parents to procure appropriate diagnoses, successfully implement consistent supports in the home, and effectively advocate for a strengths-based, talent-focused environment at school.
Learning Objectives:
Understand what supports are legally required and how to access reliable resources surrounding Twice-Exceptional (2e) students' needs
Reframe expectations surrounding 2e parenting, including the realities of disability parenting and how to find appropriate diagnoses/services
Grasp intricacies of effective advocacy within school systems — moving beyond making demands to creating strengths-based teams
