Description
Knowing how many children there are, whom we can correctly identify as twice exceptional, may help with planning how to meet the needs of these learners. The prevalence found across four districts of varying demographics will be described. How the teachers of these children have managed to deal with the diverse cognitive, affective, and behavioral needs will also be shared. The issues about identification validity, misdiagnosis vs. diagnosis, as well as the most viable and effective accommodations will also be discussed.
