Do you know a child who is an out-of-the-box thinker struggling to read or write? Or, someone who can compute complex math at an early age but is frustrated by rote memorization? How about a child with an amazing memory for details but social skills that lag far behind? Watch this discussion about the twice-exceptional (2e) learner. There is an inside look into these children’s experiences and watchers learn specific strategies to help them thrive. Speakers talked about how to reframe the situation, reduce stress, work with unexpected behaviors, and help neurodivergent, 2e children feel supported. SPEAKERS are Callie Turk, Co-Founder, REEL and Abby Kirigin, Executive Director, REEL This event is sponsored by the UCSC Silicon Valley Educational Therapy certificate program and REEL, a nonprofit supporting twice-exceptional learners that builds bridges between 2e parents and educators in Silicon Valley.
