And when twice exceptional kiddos are provided services,they often focus on the area of weakness instead of developing their strengths. This leads to more frustration, etc. Sadly, as a special ed teacher, I was never provided with any training/ education about GT characteristics or behaviors. I did not receive one course in GT until I entered a graduate program specifically in gifted education. I feel strongly that educational programs should include at least one course in recognizing gifted characteristics and behaviors, and some basic insight into twice exceptional learners.
