This is the first comprehensive guide for parents of children with Dual and Multiple Exceptionality (DME, sometimes called Twice Exceptionality or 2E). Children with high learning potential may also have conditions such as ASD, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, having 'flashes of brilliance' in some areas whilst needing additional support in others. As a result, their abilities may not always be recognised in an educational setting.This book takes a strengths-based approach towards helping parents recognise and focus on their child's areas of potential to support them towards better attainment and self-esteem, and build on these abilities while also identifying and addressing areas of difficulty. It provides an understanding of the mixed learning profile of DME children, explaining why they excel in some areas but not others, as well as guidance for parents on working positively with schools and providing their child with the support they need.With stories, quotes from parents and examples throughout, this is an essential guide to helping DME children achieve their full untapped potential.

Uppfostran inom Hälsa och familj

Denise Yates has worked in education and training for over thirty-five years to enable all individuals to maximise their potential. For ten years, she was Chief Executive of the national charity, Potential Plus UK (formerly The National Association for Gifted Children). In 2017, Denise left to pursue her passion which could be summarised as 'hidden potential'; children and young people with Dual and Multiple Exceptionality, those with mental health problems and those who have been failed by the system, for whatever reason.

This timely publication is an essential read for families nurturing the development of a child with Dual and Multiple Exceptionality. Denise adeptly weaves together the often competing priorities of special educational needs and high learning potential with clear advice and guidance at every stage. The book is written in an engaging style with an informal tone that makes it accessible to families, but also to the professionals working in this sector. I have certainly found the book insightful and I hope you will too.
