What if the key to unlocking a gifted student’s full potential lies not in fixing their challenges, but in embracing their differences? The Neurodiversity Playbook offers a powerful shift in perspective—one that can transform how we teach, support, and inspire twice-exceptional learners. This four-part book study designed for educators working with gifted students will guide participants through key concepts of neurodiversity, with a focus on practical strategies to support twice-exceptional learners. Each session will delve into ways to recognize diverse cognitive profiles, create inclusive learning environments, and implement strengths-based approaches. By the end of the study, educators will be equipped with tools to better understand, engage, and empower neurodiverse gifted students in their classrooms. Engage in the learning on your schedule, in live sessions with the author or view the recordings at your own pace anytime.
