According to the National Association for Gifted Children, giftedness occurs when a child's ability is significantly above the norm for their age. Giftedness may manifest in one or more domains such as: intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership, or in a specific academic field such as language arts, mathematics or science.

In addition to giftedness, children may also experience a disability (such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD or mental illness). These children are often called "twice-exceptional" (2e) learners.

This page will acquaint you with some of the resources available for families who have a concern about a gifted or twice-exceptional child. In each case, we've taken the top four resources recommended by local experts in the field to help you get started.
