Twice Exceptionality and Social-Emotional Development

Author(s):  
Judy Galbraith

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the common social-emotional challenges and needs of gifted students who also experience one or more learning differences such as learning disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or dyslexia (twice exceptional, or 2e students). The social-emotional needs of these students merit mindful attention because when these needs are addressed, 2e students are more likely to feel supported and succeed in school and in life. This fact is well documented in literature and through surveys conducted by the author. The surveys reviewed in this chapter cover topics related to students’ experiences at school, with peers, and at home and in terms of how they felt about themselves growing up.

Advisor perceptions of and responses to the social and emotional needs of college students with learning disabilities (LDs) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) are studied. Through a mixed-method approach of surveys and focus groups, four themes emerged: social-emotional issues that students present in the advising relationship; advisor challenges and responses to presenting issues; sources of advisor support; and monitoring of student medication. Data support a revised and expanded developmental advising model that includes the complex layering of social and emotional challenges that face students with LDs or AD/HD and the factors that keep this complex domain in balance with academic and career exploration. The revised model may also be useful for advisors whose students have any social or emotional challenges.


This book is dedicated to supporting children who simultaneously have areas of giftedness (i.e., have exceptional capacities, competencies, creativity, and commitments) while also having exceptional disability. So many of these “twice exceptional” (2e) kids are falling between the cracks in an educational environment that does not nurture and support all different kinds of learners and innovators and does not help them truly realize their potentialities as a whole person. The book, written by experts in the field, covers an array of cutting-edge, evidence-based issues and approaches dealing with twice exceptional students, including identification, advocacy, collaborative partnership with families, special populations (including autism, dyslexia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), cultural diversity, social-emotional development, and models of programs designed explicitly to support twice exceptional children. While the focus of this volume is on the unique learning and social-emotional needs of this population, the methods and scientific findings presented in this volume are applicable to bringing out the best in all students.

Welcome to the third column focusing on the social and emotional needs of gifted students. As I indicated in the first column, I have asked a friend, Dr. Sal Mendaglio from the University of Calgary, to share some of his thoughts and experiences counseling gifted students. Sal has been working on the topic of sensitivity for some time. Having talked at length with him about his ideas, I felt that this column would be an ideal vehicle for him to put forth his ideas. Enjoy.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

As the academic and social-emotional needs of students in schools continue to increase, so too does the presence of dogs in educational spaces. This article aims to present an overview of past and present animal-assisted intervention practices in school settings. This comprehensive literature review examines the current state of research within this field of study. Data from 29 publications were selected according to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results highlight three categories in which the presence of dogs in schools have an impact: social-emotional, cognitive, and physiological. Challenges to program implementation include health risks, cultural context, and negative effects on the animal. Due to the lack of school-based research, more study is needed, especially in order to understand the effect of dogs on the social-emotional learning of students. Finally, the welfare and training of the animals involved should be taken into consideration, and regulations regarding handler and animal training should be enforced.
