Neurodiversity Celebration Week
Understanding the Gifted and Distractible Learner
with Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D.
Join this webinar for an in-depth look at “Gifted and Distractible” individuals—also known as twice-exceptional (2e)—and what it really means to support them through a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach.
In this session, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how giftedness can coexist with learning differences, and why shifting away from a “diagnose and fix” mindset is essential for building confidence, self-awareness, and long-term success.
You’ll learn:
- What “twice-exceptional” means and how it fits within the broader concept of neurodiversity
- The most common myths and misconceptions about giftedness—and what’s actually true
- The three core traits of gifted individuals: asynchronous development, perfectionism, and heightened sensitivity
- How these traits can show up as both strengths and challenges in everyday life
- Why behaviors like distraction, intensity, or inconsistency often have deeper underlying causes
- Practical ways to reframe behaviors and better understand what individuals truly need to thrive
Whether you’re looking to better understand yourself or someone you support, this presentation offers a compassionate, practical framework for recognizing strengths, navigating challenges, and fostering meaningful growth.
