Written for busy teachers, this practical manual defines terms, shares examples and provides evidence-based information and strategies to support the teaching of twice-exceptional students.

Providing a comprehensive blueprint in an easy-to-use format, this book explains classroom techniques for differentiation with tips and advice based on research and teacher experience. The topics covered include learning disabilities, gifted and high potential education, talent development and general classroom pedagogy involving curriculum differentiation and individualised programming. It also explains, in more depth, the varying presentations of neurodiversity in the form of specific learning disabilities, autism and attention deficits in the gifted/high potential student to enable teachers to acquire more knowledge of the nuances evident in each twice-exceptional student. Case studies capture the perspectives of twice-exceptional young people who have thrived, and the book provides weblinks to a very comprehensive list of helpful, freely-available resources.

This essential, practical resource will serve teachers and educators in both primary and secondary schooling, as well as pre-service educators. It will also be of interest to parents and carers.
