If This Sounds Like You...

  • You’re looking to connect with other parents in real time who truly understand the joys and the challenges of raising a twice-exceptional child.
  • You’re navigating school systems, specialists, and endless opinions — but few see your child’s strengths and needs as clearly as you do.
  • You are looking for tailored guidance on 2e parenting instead of tired of one-size-fits-all advice that doesn’t fit your family’s reality.
  • You want to show up for your child while supporting yourself and your whole family.
  • And more than anything, you wish you could talk with people who just get it!

That’s why the Gifted & Distractible Parent Community exists — to connect you with like-minded parents, practical insights, and the relief of knowing you’re not alone.
