Reframing Neurodiversity

8. Understanding Twice-Exceptional (2e) Learners


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we explore the complexities of Twice Exceptional (2e) students—those who are gifted in certain areas while facing learning differences in others. It can be baffling for parents and educators to see a child excel in math while struggling with reading, leading to misdiagnosis or a lack of support. This conversation sheds light on why 2e students often go unnoticed and how we can better support them in educational settings.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What it means to be Twice Exceptional (2e)
  • Why giftedness can sometimes mask learning challenges (and vice versa)
  • The importance of recognizing and supporting 2e students in schools
  • Strategies for parents and educators to help 2e children thrive
  • How to create equitable learning environments that nurture both strengths and challenges
