15 min • 26 augusti 2024

Being gifted is often associated with high intellectual ability and exceptional talent, but it doesn’t automatically translate to having strong organizational or executive functioning skills. In fact, many gifted individuals may excel in areas like problem-solving or creative thinking but still struggle with everyday tasks like planning, managing time, and following through with assignments. This can lead to difficulties in both academic and personal settings.

Let's delve into the specific challenges that gifted individuals, particularly twice-exceptional students, might face. We'll discuss the impact these challenges can have on their daily lives and offer insights into how to support them effectively. By bridging the gap between intelligence and executive functioning, we aim to help you understand how to foster success and well-being in twice-exceptional students who are gifted but may struggle with these essential skills.
