Publications
My first passion is working directly with clients to effectuate change in their lives and the lives of their 2e children or students. I can only meet with so many parents, educators, clinicians and 2e adults a week, so I am constantly searching for a way to “shout from the rooftops” about the extraordinary nature of the 2e profile and strengths-based ways to shore up struggles.
Writing helps me get the word out far and wide. Below are articles appearing in leading publications that address important cutting edge topics on Giftedness and Twice Exceptionality.
