How To Determine A Twice Exceptional Kid

By Peter Reynolds


Over the years, a lot of children are in dire need of medical attention. Their condition might not be reflected physically, but it could be their mental and social skills. Either which, both of these have adversely affected people especially when dealing with their everyday lives.

Until recently, new discoveries and matters have become the center of attention. The twice exceptional or often abbreviated as 2e, pertains to kids who are outstanding not only for their intellectual gifts but also for their special needs. Understandably, living a life with such condition give us a notion that things would not be easy. The role of parents and also teachers should, therefore, be done wisely. To give you ideas and hints on how to determine a 2e student, below are things to know.

Oral questioning. For suspected students who might have such condition, this kind of questioning might work than a formal written test. This reduce the difficulties they would experience the moment they are having a hard time processing and understanding everything. The purpose of this activity is not just to test their actual knowledge, but rather to reflect their difficulties in reading, writing among many others.

Assigned a person who would record answers on the exams. Supposed students produce an unexpected low score, one can predict that their outputs are not striking as well. However, there are times that the quality and the difficulty of answers dramatically improve if a learner is only given his chances to exhibit his knowledge without using papers and pens.

Time limit test or not. Decide for yourself what is way preferable. You can start with the first option and eventually decide for another extended time. Should some of your students curiously ask why you do this, give them their opportunity as well. What only matters here is to clearly see the results and answers you are patiently and eagerly waiting to see and study.

Use highly proven methods. Of course, experts have their own techniques and tools that can help them determine whose a 2e individual and whose not. Find out what methods to use and seems fair and reasonable for everyone. As the teacher or parent of the child, you should be wiling to spend some time and money on techniques to make your results better and accurate.

Score evaluation. Based on the scores and output presented by the children, you can easily assess those who have surprisingly scored higher than expected. Consider them as possible 2e individuals. Knowing those who have such condition as early as possible reduce the likelihood of making crucial moves and decisions that might have a negative impact on their overall well being.

Consult professionals. If the matter seems too complicated, rely on professionals. They basically have the experience plus the wide array of knowledge. But you need to wisely decide who to hire and select to ensure an accurate and fair outcome just as initially expected.

As adults typically do, give enough love to the kids. They might be special in many ways, but they still need to be loved and to love. In that way, they would not feel any ill emotions as they grow up.
