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

This course had a dated and inaccurate depiction of ADHD. I’m a bit taken aback that in 2024 educators are taking a course that cites the DSM IV. DSM V has been out for over a decade, and there are already discussions on the table for DSM VI.
Although this course cited Dr. Barkley’s 1990 book, it left out over three decades of his research on ADHD which argues that emotional intensity should be reinstated as a core component of the diagnosis. With this understanding, this course would better understand how compatible Dabrowski’s overexcitabilities are with ADHD and autism.
