Twice-exceptional (2e) students represent both a challenge and an opportunity for the educational world: individuals with high potential who also face learning difficulties, ADHD, anxiety disorders, or autism spectrum conditions. This book offers a clear and detailed overview of these often-overlooked students, supporting educators and families in recognising and addressing their unique needs.

The author, Lara Milan, highlights the importance of a strengths-based approach that nurtures talent and fosters an inclusive and engaging educational environment. Using a school enrichment model, the book provides strategies to meet the emotional and social needs of these young people, who are often vulnerable to trauma and anxiety caused by the gap between their abilities and challenges.
