Erasure of Exceptionality: How Manitoba's Twice-Exceptional Learners Lose Out
Metelski, Jennifer
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v14 n2 p25-28 2022
Twice-exceptional (2e) students are a unique group at risk for social/emotional difficulties and disenfranchisement in schools. These students' profiles combine giftedness with areas of struggle such as learning disabilities, social impairments, emotional and mental health issues, or behavioural problems. Supporting 2e students requires developing and delivering learning plans that address both their gifted needs and areas requiring support. When their giftedness goes unaddressed, 2e students are particularly susceptible to negative school outcomes. Currently, Manitoba does not recognize giftedness as a criterion for academic consideration; therefore, 2e students in the province are not assured appropriate educational support.
