- 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

I never realized how many common traits were shared between ADHD students and gifted students. I have often found myself using strategies that I would use for ADHD students on all students with a distracted nature, or a high intensity. I will definitely be reevaluating my strategies and expanding them based on the information in this course.
