Description
“Gifted, ADHD, Either, Neither, or Both?” with Debra Troxclair, Ph.D., will explore the idea that many characteristics that don’t seem "normal" are actually very "typical" traits of giftedness.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- The similarities and differences of characteristics and behaviors of giftedness and ADHD
- Why giftedness is often misdiagnosed as ADHD
- How to help other educators understand what to do if a gifted child is suspected of having ADHD
- Suggestions for supporting the self-concepts of gifted and highly creative children
