New Ways to Identify Twice Exceptional Learners
Gifted Development Center and Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) are offering a series of professional development courses for psychologists and examiners of gifted and twice exceptional children. The series generates APA Continuing Education Units (CEUs), but others can enroll without earning the APA CEUs. The courses are also of interest to university instructors in gifted education, school counselors, therapists, coordinators of gifted programs, Directors of Admission at schools for the gifted, teachers, and parents.
The three courses for 2023 include “What is giftedness?” (April 27th) with Linda Silverman, “New Ways to Identify Twice Exceptional Children on the WISC-V” (May 25th) with Linda Silverman, and “Assessing Gifted Children with Dyslexia” (June 22nd) with Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide, neurologists. They have recently released The Dyslexic Advantage (revised and updated).
In 2024, we will offer four more courses on expanded index scores on the WISC-V, extended norms, using the DAS-II with the gifted (a new normative update is due to be released in May 2023) and assessing gifted children with ADHD or ASD by Dr. Deirdre Lovecky. Her book, Different Minds: Gifted Children with ADHD, ASD, and other Dual Exceptionalities (2nd ed.) will be released in June 2023.
All lectures are recorded so that individuals can order the sessions they missed.
