Abstract Details

2004, Specialist in Education, Miami University, School Psychology.
The purpose of this study was to explore issues surrounding students who are twice-exceptional, and how the context of the school affects service delivery. Four male twice-exceptional students in grades 4-6 from southwestern Ohio, as well as their teachers, school psychologists, and parents, were interviewed about the students’ identification and services. The results indicated that all students were identified as LD by standardized tests and that three were identified as gifted using the IOWA test. Services were typically pull-out programs. Participants said the label allowed students to receive extra support and boosted self-esteem and that ideal services should be individualized to students’ needs. Many said that the LD services helped students with their area of disability and with classwork and allowed them modifications for work and tests. Gifted services were perceived as requiring much transition, involving extensive work, or as difficult due to requirements involving the student’s disability. Context influenced perceptions of services delivery.
