Panel 1: Navigating Identification, Advocacy & Academic Mismatch
Understanding your child’s unique learning profile is the first step to ensuring they thrive. This panel explores the realities of identifying gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) learners and offers practical strategies to advocate for their needs within the school system. Hear directly from experts on how to bridge the gap of academic mismatch when a child's intellect outpaces the standard curriculum. You will walk away equipped with the exact language and tools needed to confidently collaborate with educators and secure the right level of challenge for your child.
