Why do some gifted students underperform, struggling to demonstrate what they know, to focus and pay attention, to produce written work to the quality you would expect from speaking with them? This program will examine the underlying reasons and useful strategies to support them. We will then look at Visual-Spatial Thinking System of many 2e learners, some of who also have other conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, ASD or sensory processing difficulties. We will examine these and look at useful strategies for teachers
