A couple of law professors, Pete and Pam Wright, have a website called Wrightslaw, about special-education law and advocacy for children with disabilities. Looks like a helpful site in general, including on legal issues surrounding ADD. But thanks to @JenLaviano on Twitter for tweeting about a new page on the site, about twice-exceptional students. Lots of good links there!
In case you haven’t heard the term twice exceptional, here’s how the Wrights define it: “Twice-exceptional children are gifted children of above average abilities who have special educational needs—AD/HD, learning disabilities, Asperger Syndrome, etc. Because their giftedness can mask their special needs and their special needs can hide their giftedness, they are often labeled as ‘lazy’ and ‘unmotivated.’"
Wrightslaw could be a good springboard for learning more.
