Welcome
to the website for
2e: Twice-Exceptional
Newsletter
Maybe you know a bright child who seems lazy – a child who just
never seems to work up to his or her potential. Children who are
gifted in intelligence account for three to five percent of all
children. Of those, however, as many as one-fifth may have some
kind of learning difficulty.
These are “2e kids”
–
twice-exceptional children. They're exceptional because
they’re gifted and exceptional because they have
learning disabilities,
learning disorders, attention difficulties, or just plain
learning differences.
Finding the Right
Resources
Some organizations and resources
support gifted children and their families. Some support LD kids
and their families. But until recently, there have been few
organizations and resources directed squarely at the
intersection of giftedness
and learning difficulties.
This website and our publications
were created to meet this need. Our focus
is twice-exceptional
children, and we provide information and resources on raising
them, educating them, and meeting their social and emotional
needs. Our audience is the community of parents, educators,
advocates, and other
professionals who help 2e kids reach their
potential.
