Recenzii
Smart Kids with Learning Difficulties: Overcoming Obstacles and Realizing Potential is a well written, informative must-read for any parent, educator or counselor interacting with gifted children that have labeled or suspected learning difficulties. The authors followed through on the purpose of this book. It is a guide in the truest sense; providing engaging hands-on material to help adults identify and assist a deserving group of underserved students.,Davidson Institute for Talent Development, 1/1/14
While the book contains a strong overview of the challenges often experienced by twice-exceptional students, by far the book's greatest strength is the volume of problem-solving tips and materials. There is also a short discussion on transitioning to college, and materials are provided to aid students in making this transition, including a college planning sheet and a self-advocacy outline. Each chapter also contains a wealth of resources including templates, charts of useful strategies, and materials to help teachers differentiate in the classroom.,Lisa Van Gemert, Gifted Youth Specialist,Mensa Foundation, 5/1/14
Parents and teachers faced with the challenge of providing appropriate educational services for twice-exceptional students, as well as the students themselves, will find a gold mine of practical advice in this user-friendly guide to identifying learning problems in gifted children and planning instruction to accommodate and overcome these challenges. The authors, each of whom has worked for at least two decades in the field of gifted education, bring together their combined experience of working with bright students with a variety of learning disabilities to produce this easy-to-use guide that is based on research by some of the leading experts in the field. ,Kathleen D.
