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

This course was. I would like to be able to go back and look at it again in parts at different times and obtain copies of notes from presenter. This was eye opening for me as a teacher and parent. I realize there are many more things to consider for all students I had and have that look with characteristics or ADHD. This course helped me to make sense of their behavior and academic achievement. And it is very important to be aware of their similarities that produce misdiagnosis, as well of expectations from each. And other reasons to misdiagnose GT. Definitely gave us a higher level view and a more complete tapestry of a GT personality. Thank you. This is the best about GT I ever took.

To many negative comments about teachers, parents and administrators. Often referred to as “Those people”. She seemed very elitist in her comments, like if I am not a gifted teacher, I am clueless. Hard to finish entire course because of this.
