As schools attempt to identify and meet the needs of students who are highly capable, those who are twice exceptional are frequently under-represented in programs for the gifted. Preconceived notions prevent many students who are twice exceptional from accessing services that focus on their strengths and interests. Strength-based services provide opportunities for students to soar with their strengths while simultaneously closing the gap in areas of need. Many bright students who also have a disability struggle in the areas of social communication, executive function and adaptive skills. Case examples will be used to demonstrate how strength based educational supports make a world of difference for students who are twice exceptional.
