Abstract
As a licensed psychologist, educator, and researcher, my primary focus is on twice-exceptional individuals. I am interested in identifying their multifaceted needs, both in their talent domains and areas for growth, and in disseminating research-based intervention strategies that help them reach their full potential. As a psychologist, this focus manifests itself in providing comprehensive assessment, consultation, and therapy services; as an educator, in training future psychologists to understand and best work with this population; and as a researcher, in creating and critiquing the research basis for the other two domains. I truly believe we, as parents, educators, and psychologists, need to become better equipped to understand twice-exceptional students’ individual differences. We need to set them up for success instead of letting them fall through the cracks.
