Hi,
How wonderful that you are a teacher trying to support the student and parents!! And how excellent that you realize a child may be twice exceptional. Probably others can answer this better, but I think the first step would be to have the child tested by an expert in 2e kids. Hoagies' Gifted site lists a specialist in gifted kids BC here: http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/psychologists.htm#scan

namely Susan Jackson at the Daimon Institute in White Rock. But I'm not sure about 2e-ness, so that would be something to ask. Plus, is that someplace the child could reasonably go for testing? Alternatively I know the Gifted Development Center in Colorado (with director Linda Silverman) is willing to do remote evaluations/consultations but I don't know the extent of that plus I did look into it once and it was pricey, but they do have some expertise in 2e. Best of luck and cheers to you for trying to help!! I can tell you that teachers like yourself who try to understand and help kids like this are worth their weight in gold to the kid and the parents as well. smile
