I'm chatting today with a psychologist who specializes in giftedness, Andrea Lein. She and I really nerded out... for a while. We talk about what giftedness is, what twice exceptional is (when a gifted personal has a learning or emotional disability in school), and how parents can approach supporting twice exceptional children. Enjoy!! (I know we did!)
Andrea Lein holds a Ph.D. in Clinical & School Psychology and an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology, specializing in giftedness, from the University of Virginia. She’s worked as a clinician, researcher, and educator for over 20 years, and most recently served as the Head of School for a therapeutic boarding school for gifted and twice-exceptional adolescents struggling with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional issues.
