Book Review: Kaufman, Scott Barry (Ed.). (2018). Twice exceptional: Supporting and educating bright and creative students with learning difficulties. New York, NY: Oxford University Press.

Abstract

The catalyst for this book was Dr Kaufman’s personal journey as a twice exceptional (2e) individual. He acknowledged the difference a special education teacher had on the trajectory of his academic journey and successful career in cognitive psychology. It was his desire to engender an awareness of the concomitance of giftedness and disabilities, with the hope that unserved students with 2e would be recognised and supported.
