Our team of educational and clinical experts offers unique and evidence-based strategies that target the learning issues of individuals with special needs. While our resources are often useful for all individuals, we have concentrated on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and other disorders that impact learning, socialization, communication, and self-regulation skills. We believe that simply telling busy teachers, parents, and professionals what they should be doing is not enough.
Do2Learn: Educational Resources for Special Needs
Managing Editor's Note: April is Autism Action Month and we consider it a month of somber observance and respectful thought on how to help our friends and family who are on the spectrum. Awareness is not enough. Do we love, honor and congratulate success from the smallest whisper of sound to landing a good job or graduating from college? Of course. But "celebration" seems... callous in light of the very real problems facing people of all abilities with autism and Asperger's.

If this is your first visit, click here for a guide to the site. This site is named after the book Uniquely Gifted: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice-Exceptional Student , edited by Kiesa Kay. Twice-exceptional children (that is, intellectually gifted children with special needs such as AD/HD, learning disabilities, Asperger Syndrome, etc.) have a hard time of it in our education system - because their giftedness can mask their special needs and their special needs hide their giftedness, they are often labeled as "lazy", "unmotivated", "not trying". Many people don't even realize that a child can be both gifted and learning disabled; however, Linda Silverman, Ph.D., the director of the Gifted Development Center has found that fully 1/6 of the gifted children tested at the GDC have a learning difference of some type .
