An Operational Definition of Twice-Exceptional Learners: Implications and Applications
Reis, Sally M.; Baum, Susan M.; Burke, Edith
Gifted Child Quarterly, v58 n3 p217-230 Jul 2014
In this article, a new definition of twice-exceptional children is proposed. In addition to introducing this new definition, the authors provide a research-based rationale for the definition, offer a clear profile of twice-exceptional youth, and summarize the development of new programs and practices to enable these students to develop their gifts while simultaneously compensating for their deficits.
