Strategies for Teaching Twice-Exceptional Students. October, 2003 This article is a condensed version of an article by the same title from Understanding Our Gifted, Winter 2002. Reprinted with Permission, Open Space Communications. www.openspacecomm.com The field of gifted education has discovered ways to create and maintain optimum learning conditions for twice-exceptional students.

The rule to follow when teaching students who are twice exceptional is simple.

When a child with a disability enters school the IDEA law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) requires that the student receive an individual education plan (IEP). In the document there has been a check off for indicating if the student is on a track to earn a high school diploma.
