The Trailhead Kit: How to find the right school for your 2e child.

 

To find the right school, start with the right questions. Choosing a school for your twice-exceptional (2e) child can feel like navigating without a map. The Trailhead Kit was created to provide you with a starting point—your first step toward clarity, confidence, and connection. This toolkit helps you understand what to look for (and what to avoid) as you explore schools that truly support both the strengths and needs of your neurodivergent learner. Inside The Trailhead Kit, you’ll find:

​

• A curated list of 2e-friendly schools
   

• Insights from REEL’s Private School Panels, where parents and educators share real experiences
   

• Key takeaways and expert advice on evaluating fit, asking the right questions, and advocating with confidence
   

• The DEAR REEL Model - a framework to help you assess strengths-based alignment in schools
   

• Bonus inspiration from stories on unschooling, homeschooling, and alternative paths to learning
   

Whether you're just beginning to explore options or deep in the school search, this kit will ground you with actionable guidance—and remind you that you don’t have to figure this out alone. Download The Trailhead Kit and take your next step toward a school experience where your child feels seen, supported, and empowered to shine.
