I have extensive experience with Gifted and Twice Exceptional populations.  These students often present with much more complex learning profiles than people expect, facing additional social/emotional challenges that are at the same time similar and very different to other populations in the educational setting. 

I have brought my school insider’s perspective to assessment, consultation, student plan development, and presentations for groups including the Orange County Office of Education and SENG.  Services may include:

Gifted/Twice Exceptional

  • Cognitive/Social Emotional Assessment as related to educational needs

  • Twice Exceptional Assessment and Learning Profile development

  • Consultation

  • Report and IEP Review

  • Attending school and/or IEP meetings

  • Executive Functioning and Transition Support

  • Homeschool support

“Dee Dee has been an instrumental resource for my family. Her knowledge and experience have guided us to finding the answers that we desperately needed. She has taught us so much about the challenges facing our gifted, twice-exceptional (2e) children – and what tools we can access to help mitigate those challenges. She knows her stuff and I recommend her services without any hesitation. I am eager for others to be able to access her support. T.O., Arroyo Grande, Parent
