Essential School Strategies for Twice Exceptional (2e) Students
Are you concerned about your bright & quirky child's schooling, especially in these turbulent times?

Most teachers get a little to no training in how to teach kids like ours.
This 4-part bonus series includes:
Part 1:
Must-Know Foundational Strategies to Support Bright & Quirky Kids
Part 2:
Deep Dive: School Strategies for Bright Kids with ADHD, Autism and Learning Differences
Part 3:
Engaging the Unmotivated 2e Students in Online & Offline Learning
Part 4:
Home & Hybrid Learning for 2e Kids & Building Social Competence
Could Your Child Be
Twice Exceptional?
Bright kids with advanced abilities and lagging abilities, at the same time, are called twice exceptional or 2e, because these varied abilities are two exceptions to the norm. Your child isn't bad or broken. In fact, they could be one of the greatest thinkers and creators of their generation! Learn more by registering for the Bright & Quirky Child Summit 2021.
