Preferred term

multiple exceptionality  

Definition(s)

  • Although there is no formal, agreed-upon definition of twice exceptional, this term is commonly used to refer to children who have two seemingly contradictory sets of traits: those related to their high intellectual or artistic abilities, and those related to their limitations or deficits. Another term often applied to this group is gifted/learning disabled, although not all twice-exceptional children are formally diagnosed with learning disabilities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Giftedness, Creativity, and Talent; Twice Exceptional]
