Book Description
To Be Gifted and Learning Disabled is one of the most popular resources available on identifying and meeting the needs of twice-exceptional students. This updated third edition provides a comprehensive look at the complex world of students with remarkable gifts, talents, and interests, who simultaneously face learning, attention, or social challenges from LD, ADHD, ASD, and other disorders. Through case studies and years of research, the authors present a rationale for using a strength-based, talent-focused approach to meeting the needs of this special population. From a thorough description of twice-exceptionality and the unique learning patterns of these students, to strategies for identification, comprehensive programming, talent development, and instructional strategies, this book explores the distinguishing strengths (yellows) and complex challenges (blues) that these students face. In painting, green is a mix of yellows and blues. Because of their individual characteristics, twice-exceptional students come in a remarkable range of greens. 2018 NAGC Book of the Year Award Winner
To be Gifted & Learning Disabled
Author: Susan M. Baum
Publisher: Prufrock Press
ISBN: 9780936386973
Category : EDUCATION
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Over ten years after To Be Gifted and Learning Disabled was first printed, Susan Baum and Steven Owen have completely revised this popular resource on identifying and meeting the needs of gifted and learning disabled (GLD) youngsters. Part I discusses the patterns of accomplishments and failures that many GLD students present and provides important information about the development of two traditionally separate fields--giftedness and learning disabilities--as well as identification and diagnosis issues. Part II explores the contemporary psychological theory and research that guides educational applications for GLD students. And Part III offers practical strategies for teaching GLD students and helping them plan and explore options for their future. This revised and expanded edition includes three new chapters on self regulation, developing comprehensive IEPs for GLD students, and the roles parents and counselors can play in meeting the social and emotional needs of GLD students as well as a chapter exploring the idea of the alphabet child (with ADD, ADHD, ODD, etc.) and issues involving attention-deficit-like behaviors and other behavioral issues. Thoroughly researched and filled with case studies, practical suggestions and techniques for working with GLD students, useful resources, and much more, To Be Gifted and Learning Disabled is a resource anyone who works or lives with a child who has both startling talents and disabling weaknesses should have.

Emotionally, Socially, and Learning Disabled Gifted Children
Author: Hanna David
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781536158083
Category : Children with disabilities
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book presents the reader with the main inherent problems of double-exceptionality, namely, the difficulties educators and mental health professionals must deal with when working with gifted disabled children and youths. The first chapter describes ten of these problems; on the one hand, some have been caused by unfamiliarity of the basic terms and definitions of giftedness and on the other, learning or other disabilities; some by treatment failures of gifted disabled children and youths. The main part of the book, chapters 2-5, include six detailed case studies of gifted children and adolescents who were dealing, in some cases, with learning disabilities, but in all cases with social, emotional, psychological and familial issues that jeopardized not only their educational and professional future, but also their well-being and even their mental health. These chapters include also shorter vignettes of gifted disabled young and older children whom I have met in the last thirty years. Some of these cases-both the longer and the shorter case studies-are of students who had considered dropping out of school. This book challenges the assumption that dropping out is necessarily also an educational failure. Some of the cases described did not have a "happy ending": they describe young people who unsuccessfully tried to be "like everybody else," an attempt that has always been hard to live with. The last chapter shows that only when all components in the child's or adolescent's life, the family, the education system, and the social circle she or he belonged to encouraged and nurtured the child, materializing one's giftedness while maintaining a high level of well-being and social acceptability can be accomplished. The chapter of the book analyzes these factors while showing how misunderstanding of the child's needs, along with inability to provide her or him with the proper educational and psychological help might cause "giving up" one's giftedness, deterioration in the social/emotional situation or both.

Students with Both Gifts and Learning Disabilities
Author: Tina A. Newman
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441991166
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
We were motivated to edit this book when we began to hear stories of exceptional students who were struggling with reading, writing, or math, but who could solve seemingly any problem with computers, or build the most intricate structures with Legos, or could draw beautiful pictures, or could tell the most creative stories but ended up in tears when asked to write it out. How is it possible to have so much talent in some areas and yet to appear to have a disability in another? What resources are available for these students? How can we ensure that these students' abilities are nurtured and developed? Our goal in this book is to provide ideas and possibly even tentative answers for educators and to stimulate more questions to be answered by researchers. We have ourselves been addressing related questions for some time. Our group at the PACE Center at Yale has explored the developmentof abilities, competencies and expertise that allow people to be successful in life. Through this work, we have collaborated with school districts and other educators and researchers across the country to expand the notion ofwhat is traditionally thought ofas intelligence. We use the conceptofsuccessful intelligence to allow for the possibility that the skills traditionally taught in school are not the only ones, and often not even the most important ones, that allow people to be successful in the world.
