[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m the OP. I didn’t know 2E was a thing until the psychologist who diagnosed Dc1 with adhd said that’s what he was. [/quote]

I know 2e is a real thing. Gifted kids can have LDs of SNs.

But if a kid scores 120 on IQ I don’t think it’s right to think the score is wrong because of an LD or SN. The score is suppressed. Period. There are many kids with strengths in the gifted range but don’t qualify as gifted. Because they aren’t. It’s slmost like when a kid scores below the gifted range now parents automatically start thinking it’s 2e. Or point to the one score above 130. [/quote]

if the experts in the field agreed with you, kids wouldn't get accommodations on tests would they? What you think is of no value in this conversation[/quote]

Accomodations on tests don't mean a child is gifted.  You're mixing two different things.[/quote]
