Dr. Callard-Szulgit Ed.D has thirty-seven years of experience in education, with a focus on gifted children, their education and parenting. She is currently an adjunct professor with the State University at Buffalo and runs her own education consulting business, Partners for Excellence in Rochester, NY.
Having worked with exceptional children, I understand the need for
parents, teachers and counselors to address the challenges with
this very special group of children and teens. With the challenges
come great rewards. I believe this book will enlighten and inspire
all who read it. -- Debra Welborn, author, speaker, and founder of
the non-profit agency: Community Health Management Services,
Inc.
Dr. Callard-Szulgit has written a comprehensive, up-to-date, and
informative book about a neglected segment of our school
population: gifted children with one or more diagnosed
disabilities. The format of the book is approachable, especially
for parents, as it provides explanations of each of the twice
exceptional categories, as well as useful tips for addressing these
issues with school personnel. Too, her use of personal vignettes of
students she knows who possess these dual exceptionalities adds a
realistic and tender perspective to this important, understudied
topic. I applaud Dr. Callard-Szulgit for providing a needed
resource to both parents and professionals. -- James R. Delisle,
Ph.D., retired, distinguished professor of education, Kent State
University (OH) and author of "Dumbing Down America: The War On Our
Nation's Brightest Young Minds (And What We Can Do To Fight
Back)"
Rosemary Szulgit's new book, Twice-Exceptional Kids offers insights
and suggestions for parents and professionals. Often misunderstood
and frequently neglected or ignored, twice-exceptional children
finally are given the attention they deserve. This book provides
relevant case studies, strategies, and ideas for teaching and
working with twice-exceptional children. This book could also serve
as a supplementary text in a course about children with
disabilities. -- Janet Medina, Psy.D., associate professor,
Department of Education, McDaniel College (MD)
