4 Twice-Exceptionality Research in Brazil: What do we know?
This study was a systematic review of the Brazilian literature examining twice-exceptionality. The goal was to report on areas commonly addressed in the literature and identify those needing further attention. Results showed that twice-exceptionality has only recently been addressed in Brazilian research. The most common type of study was literature reviews. Most of the studies were conducted by psychology researchers in the southeast region of Brazil. The type of co-existing disability most commonly addressed in the studies was autism spectrum disorder. Clearly, there is a need for additional research on twice-exceptionality in Brazil.
