SENGinar: Consideration for Gifted and 2E Assessment

Getting an assessment for giftedness and/or twice-exceptionality can offer great information and insights into your or your child’s needs, but can also be a big investment and there are many things to consider in pursuing the right fit for an evaluator and type(s) of evaluation. Having educationally evaluated, and reviewed evaluations as a school psychologist for nearly 20 years, I have had the opportunity to see a variety of reports and learned a lot about what to look out for in an evaluation with gifted and 2E individuals.

In this talk, I will discuss:

• Questions to ask before pursuing an evaluation.
• Types of gifted and 2E Assessments.
• Considerations for student and adult evaluations
