Gifted children come with their own special needs, but did you know that they can also have disabilities paired with their giftedness, too? These children's needs are often overlooked because their giftedness can mask their disability, their disability can mask their giftedness, or they may even look like an "average" student because their exceptionalities kind of cancel each other out.
Gifted children who also have a disability are referred to as 2e or twice exceptional children. What is a 2e child and can they be dyslexic? Learn more.

Grounded in a combination of evidence, personal narratives, interviews, data, and research, Identifying and Serving Diverse Gifted Learners: Meeting the Needs of Special Populations in Gifted Education is a guiding resource for all stakeholder groups in gifted education to shift the equity needle of gifted programs in America. Though it is the right of Black, Hispanic/Latinx, twice-exceptional (2e), low-income, and other special populations of students to have access to advanced academic programs in the American educational system, complex and deep-rooted systemic issues often block the way. This seminal text thoughtfully brings the conversation around historically underrepresented students in gifted education to the forefront, drawing on real-world examples to provide an accessible discussion of foundational, interdependent topics, including current research and promising educational practices. Readers will develop a basic theoretical understanding of the issues and be able to advance more responsive programs and experiences for low-income, racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse gifted students, and other diverse gifted populations. This text serves as a beacon to motivate K-12 educators, researchers, and scholars to carry the torch of advocacy on behalf of those students historically underrepresented in programs for the gifted and talented. | Author: Taylor & Francis Group | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: Mar 15, 2022 | Number of Pages: 270 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1032208236 | ISBN-13: 9781032208237
