Twice Exceptional Students: Gifts and Talents, the Performing Arts, and Juvenile Delinquency
Grigorenko, Elena L.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n169 p59-74 Jan 2020
There is an increasing attention to the phenomenon referred to as "twice exceptional" ("2e") children, namely, children who demonstrate both exceptional abilities and disabilities. In this essay, this concept is applied to delinquency and/or emotional-behavior disorder and gifts (talents) in the performance arts, exploring the presence of this association and the support for it in the literature. The essay asserts that this association does exist, qualifies these youth as another category of 2e students, and calls for research on the manifestation, etiology, and development of this co-occurrence.
