Twice-Exceptional: which statement is true?

• A. Gifted with no disabilities.
• B. Gifted and disabled.
• C. Disabled with no giftedness.
• D. Average ability with no learning difference.

Answer: (B)

Twice-exceptional describes students who are both gifted and have a disability. They show high ability in some areas, such as creativity or advanced problem-solving, while also facing learning challenges like dyslexia, ADHD, or other disabilities. The true statement reflects this dual profile: someone is gifted and disabled. The other descriptions miss this combination, either implying no disability despite high ability, or disability without exceptional gifts, or average ability with no differences. Recognizing 2e helps tailor supports that cultivate strengths while addressing the learning barriers.
