Description
With its first year's work through a Javits project, Project 2EXCEL may have cracked the code of finding/accommodating twice exceptional learners in self-contained gifted classrooms. How the children were found, how their teachers have been supported with training and resources, how these children have responded to the accommodations their teachers have provided, and how these children are doing (Surviving? Thriving? Or Not?) will be shared in this case study approach. Individual stories of 8 children with varying degrees of autism, learning, attention, or emotional/behavioral disorders will be told and the lessons learned from each child will be shared.
