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

I liked this course! Lots of good info on ADHD vs Giftedness that I hadn’t thought of before. I also loved the speakers “choice”. Was she going to choose to be ADHD or choose to be Gifted? Since she was both, she made the choice to be creative (gifted). I love that outlook!

The information was good, but it was repetitive and went on and on. Ironically I was identified as gifted and I’m being evaluated for adult ADHD so maybe that’s why I couldn’t concentrate on this module very well. I have been working exclusively with gifted students (many of which also have an ADHD diagnosis as well) so I didn’t learn anything new in this module.
Catherine – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –
I appreciated that the presenter has personal experience with the topic she was speaking on.
