THE DEAR REEL MODEL: Classroom Strategies for Twice-Exceptional Student Success
 

Do you know a bright child who struggles to show it in an
academic setting?
 
 Twice-exceptional (2e) learners have both high
ability and potential as well as complex challenges such as autism,
dyslexia, and ADHD, among others.
