2e Learner Breakthrough Stories: Removing Hurdles in Day to Day Learning

Gifted students with formal individualized plans like a 504 or an IEP may still encounter barriers that result in being stuck, resistant, avoidant, and anxious. Through a positive psychology lens, the speakers emphasize how little adjustments can be a powerful companion to build self-determination skills when complex and nuanced issues interfere with learning. Each of us, including parents, counselors, and specialists are empowered and positioned to support 2e students as they shift from survival mode to self-actualization.
