Review: Gifted Child Today - October 1, 2011
In developing a differentiated curriculum for children who are a part of this special population, teachers and other school professionals will find the research-based strategies and discussions presented in Twice-Exceptional Gifted Children: Understanding, Teaching, and Counseling Gifted Students to be both practical and beneficial. Author Beverly A. Trail shares her expertise in the area of assisting educators in understanding how to nurture giftedness while effectively addressing the areas of need associated with a child’s disability. This book may be used as a step-by-step guide or as a periodic reference by teams of educators, enhancing the understanding of twice-exceptional students and the ability to meet their complex needs in the regular classroom setting.

Beverly Trail brought her 22 years in education to bear in writing this book. In less than 200 pages she has compiled all of the essential information needed to understand who twice-exceptional children are, what challenges they need to face, what the consequences are of not addressing their challenges, and how professionals and parents can work together to meet the needs of this underserved population of students.

Talent is something to be nurtured, and some talents need assistance to get the help they need. “Twice-Exceptional Gifted Children: Understanding, Teaching and Counseling Gifted Students” is a guide for educators and teachers who want to help their gifted and talented students keep performing at this high level, particularly those who also face disabilities, making their talents all the more significant. “Twice-Exceptional Gifted Children” is a thoughtful and scholarly volume that should be considered by any advanced classes teacher.

As a parent and advocate for gifted students, I want this book--and the breadth and depth of information it offers in one place--to be something with which every one of my children's teachers is very familiar...If all the stakeholders in gifted and twice-exceptional student education were to be familiar with the insights and suggestions in this book, so much practical progress could be made: everyone would be on the same page (so to speak) with a foundation and strategies for early intervention and twice-exceptional student success!
