Just because a child is gifted doesn’t mean they don’t have other types of neurodivergence, like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Conversely, even children with one of these diagnoses can be cognitively gifted. Raising Twice-Exceptional Children provides you with a road map to understand the complex make-up of your “gifted-plus,” or twice-exceptional, child or teen.
The book helps you understand your child’s diagnosis, meet their social-emotional needs, build self-regulation skills and goal setting, and teach self-advocacy. It also shows you effective ways to collaborate with teachers and school staff, and it offers advice on finding strengths-based strategies that support development at home.
For too long, these kids have fallen through the cracks. This book provides key information on how to best support neurodivergent children by leveraging their strengths while supporting their struggles.

The author presents as very knowledgeable but still relatable for those of us in the 2E trenches. This book is full of practical suggestions to implement right away! Thank you Emily Kircher-Morris! 🙂

I am a gifted teacher and coordinator at 5 elementary schools. I purchased copies of Emily’s other book for each school and as soon as this book came out I did the same. It is a fabulous resource that is well written. What I appreciated most from a teacher’s perspective was that Emily gives great advice on how parents can approach and work with the school (assume positive intent) and how and when to push when the school is not being responsive. I have had positive feedback from the parents I shared this book with as well.

For parents or therapist. Understanding neurodiverse is so needed.
