[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a 2e definition? I’ve used it with my own child who has a gifted FSIQ but also an LD. Her scores are lower because of low processing speed but they are still in the gifted range. She is that smart, in other words. Her disability is there, but she still tests as gifted.

But I’ve read here multiple times about kids who have ADHD or another LD but not the gifted FSIQ who are being called 2e.

I really don’t they no those kids belong in AAP. I don’t think it’s doing anybody a favor. Yes, your child is bright, but they do not have a gifted level IQ and on top of that they have a disability. [/quote]

With many 2E children you cant rely on the FSIQ tests as they are invalid.  You need to look at the sub tests that make it up or other tests.  For example, my DC's "FSIQ is 125 or so isn't considered valid at least for tests like the WISC.  He has profound dyslexia that impacts several areas and the subtest that relates to that came out as a 6 (where 10 is the "average") yet in other subtests that relate to math (except for math facts fluency), critical thinking, back ground knowledge and vocabulary he hits the ceiling (scores a 19).   He is exceptional in math and science.  So, for the most part we fought for AAP for math and science. He could have done the advanced history classes, but the time requirement would have made his life much more stressful.   He took team taught English in 7th-12th grades.  He took no foreign language but substituted those classes with more math and science classes in HS.

For students like my son, being able to access the curriculums in their areas of strengths is crucial to their ability to overcome their deficits. [/quote]
