You will encounter 2e students who are gifted but not identified--perhaps even the student you have chosen as your "case study" student in this course. This course can only give you an overview. You'll need to work with a gifted specialist in order to get a 2e student identified.
Why identify 2e Students?
Twice-exceptional learners are often at risk of academic underachievement or failure and mental health problems. Identification can help them become more successful in school, and the understanding of themselves that comes from their disability being recognized and supports being put in place can help with social-emotional and mental health issues. In essence, Identification of 2e learners helps them get their needs met, especially as they progress through multiple grades, multiple schools, and sometimes multiple districts.
