Meeting the Challenges of the Twice-Exceptional Child
Do you have a gifted learner who also struggles with learning or social challenges? Ms. Weistart will discuss how to meet the academic and social needs of a gifted learner with special needs, how to parent your unique child, and how to find support for both of you. Susan Weistart has been a certified teacher in both learning disabilities and gifted education for 20+ years with a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Her master's research project was on the twice-exceptional learner. Ms. Weistart is the former academic coordinator for Arizona State University's Center for Academic Precocity and spent many years as a teacher of highly gifted students, many of whom were twice-exceptional.
