Description
Bright Not Broken sheds new light on twice exceptional children, who are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability. This population is often overlooked by teachers and parents, who focus solely on their weaknesses rather than their talents.
The authors of this book argue that our mental health and education systems are failing our brightest children, leading to widespread misdiagnosis and controversies. They offer practical strategies for helping twice exceptional kids achieve their full potential, drawing on painstaking research and personal experience.
With a whole child model approach, parents and educators can strengthen and develop a child's innate gifts while also intervening to support the deficits. This book provides groundbreaking insight into the lives of 2e children and offers a new perspective on how we can better support them.
