Greetings from the publishers of 2e: Twice-Exceptional Newsletter. The focus of our May issue is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In our feature article, Kathryn Wingrove draws on her own parenting experiences to describe what happens when giftedness meets OCD. Leslie Packer looks at OCD in the classroom, providing a list of accommodations to consider. Then, in our Parents’ Perspective column, we see what life in an OCD family is like.

Also in this issue, we bring you some articles that highlight the steps being taken in two states – Colorado and Idaho – to raise awareness of what twice exceptionality is and what 2e students need. There’s also an interview with educational psychologist Esther Sinclair and, in case you haven’t made plans yet, some information on and recommendations for summer camps.

Along with our regular columns and features, you’ll find coverage of sessions from the 2008 AEGUS conference held last month in California. Plus, there’s a profile of an online book store that specializes in books and other materials related to special needs.

We’d like to remind you to visit the subscriber-only area at www.2eNewsletter.com to access content from all past issues as well as content that didn’t make it into the bi-monthly newsletter. Plus, don’t forget our Del.icio.us page at http://del.icio.us/2enewsletter, where you can find hundreds of articles we’ve bookmarked on the topics of twice-exceptionality, giftedness, and LDs.

As the school year draws to a close, we hope you’ll remember a favorite teacher or administrator with a gift subscription to 2e: Twice-Exceptional Newsletter. And we wish all of you in the northern hemisphere a wonderful summer!
