Sounds so American. "Twice exceptional". But basically means G & T at one end, but with Learning Disabilities at the other end.
I think this may be my ds1. It's been such a long road with him and he is 9 now. He's had such a difficult, unhappy time at school. But last week and today, he's had a cognitive assessment and even without getting the results, I can tell he did really, really well in some areas (creative thinking) and really badly in others (working memory). I think it may show this '2e' thing (just stumbled on it tonight whilst reading about the test) and I feel like my eyes are starting to be opened because so many things, right down to the anxiety these children feel, is so spot on for him.
Anyone have more information about this? Is this something people know about in the UK education system?

Just discovered '2e' children and very excited. Anyone heard of them?
