REEL is thrilled to introduce a pilot program specifically for parents of twice-exceptional (2e) children (an official diagnosis is not necessary).
Over four weeks, you'll join a small group of just eight participants in weekly facilitated discussions that dive deep into a topic important within our 2e community. Each session will explore the topic through research, neurodivergent positive resources, and personal experiences, helping you understand its impact on your family and your 2e child.
Whether you're new to the topic or seeking a supportive community of parents who truly 'get it,' this program is designed for you. Our goal is to create an intimate, close-knit space where you can discuss, strategize, and share valuable perspectives that address the unique needs of your 2e child.
With only eight spots available in the group per series, this is an exclusive opportunity to be part of something special. We’ll meet for one hour each week, making the most of our time together to foster compassionate growth and deepen your understanding.
This pilot is just the beginning of what we envision as a comprehensive, evolving support space for REEL 2e parents, with new and timely topics introduced regularly to meet our community's complex and ever-changing needs.
FEBRUARY 2025: Understanding Twice-Exceptionality (2e) and Its Complexities
In these discussions, we will delve into the unique experiences of twice-exceptional (2e) kids—children with remarkable strengths alongside diagnoses like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, slow processing speed, etc. These differences often present as challenges in traditional education and parenting systems and approaches. Together, we’ll explore how to better support our 2e kids by understanding and embracing their exceptional abilities while addressing possible barriers.
