The disability could be the stronger of the two, or the giftedness is the stronger trait. Students who are twice exceptional also do not belong in either category.]]> 2016-04-05 19:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/patience_cox32/twiceexceptional/wish/104232168 patience_cox32 https://padlet.com/patience_cox32/twiceexceptional/wish/104232547 The challenges of identfying a student who is twice exceptional is that, because one of the traits is more predominant, the other trait is masked.
