My research is about identifying dyslexia in gifted students. Focus is on stealth dyslexia and twice-exceptionality (2e). Stealth dyslexia refers to cases where giftedness compensates for decoding difficulties, making dyslexi more difficult to identify. Twice-exceptionality refers to the coexistence of giftedness and one or more disabilities.
Bio
By profession, I am a speech-language pathologist (SLP), teacher, special education teacher, and I also hold a degree in educational leadership. These qualifications and professional experiences - both in health care as an SLP, and in schools where I have worked for many years as a special educator, teacher, and school leader with responsibility for special educational development work - form the foundation and provide me with at broad range of perspevtives to draw upon.
