Gifted and ADHD: What It Means and What To Do For Twice Exceptional Learners

Gifted and ADHD: What It Means and What to Do for Twice-Exceptional Learners

Friday, November 10, 2023
1:15 PM – 2:15 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado P/Q
"Easy things are hard and hard things are easy” for gifted children with ADHD. This session helps caregivers and educators deeply understand the similarities and differences of gifted and ADHD profiles and why one elicits a 'glass half full' and the other a 'glass half empty' response. Attendees learn strategies and advocacy tools to bring out the best in children and raise their self-confidence.

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate giftedness and ADHD and why it's important to consider each learner individually as opposed to the sum of their diagnoses.
  • Demonstrate the effects of being Twice Exceptional through research and anecdotal evidence.
  • Analyze the P-R-A-I-S-E(TM) model of interventions for this population (Personal connection, Reframe, Anticipate, Incentives and Choices, Sense of humor, and Exercise).
