Twice-Exceptionality/Nontraditional
Gifted and Learning Disabled: A Neuropsycholgist’s Perspective
Neuropsychologists describe how gifted children can also have neurological or psychological disorders, making diagnosis complex. Twice-exceptional students may compensate, be misidentified, or under-supported. Accurate assessment should consider cognitive, emotional, sensory, and executive functioning needs and guide tailored interventions rather than single-label solutions.
