Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Giftedness, 2e and executive functions

The benefits of being gifted, with poor executive function may include:

1- as a student, obtaining "2e" supports in school to help overcome executive function challenges and perform closer to your gifted potential

2- having the intellectual ability to independently research and learn more about executive function skills, different areas of the brain that specialize in certain processing skills, and that other areas of the brain can be trained to assist (such as after a brain injury)

3- being able to set realistic goals and rewards for yourself, to keep yourself motivated

4- learning and developing methods for compensating (such as breaking tasks down in to individual steps, to be addressed in sequential order)
