Ep 16 - What is Giftedness and 2e? Why it isn't all about IQ... With Dr Susan Nikakis

We cover a lot of loaded definitions on this podcast, and Giftedness is pretty high up there in terms of being incorrectly represented and misunderstood. So let’s get real and talk about what Giftedness actually is, the various types of Giftedness, and how to support your child through it’s challenges. We also delve into the term 2E, what it means and how it appears. We discuss the challenges of people seeing the behaviour rather than the child and how to support them. Dr Susan Nikakis, Vice President of the Victorian Association for Gifted and Talented Children (VAGTC) and author of numerous books on educating gifted children, brings her passion and knowledge to this conversation. This is the final episode of Season 2.
