Resource: Twice Exceptional Newsletter for 2e Community

The publishers of 2e: Twice-Exceptional Newsletter have opened a free, non-public network at Ning.com for those who raise, teach, and counsel high-ability (gifted) kids who have learning challenges such as AD/HD, Asperger’s, dyslexia, etc. The intent for the 2e Newsletter Network on Ning is that it be a place where members of the 2e community can exchange information and resources based on specific interests (eg, AD/HD) or location (eg, can someone recommend a counselor in the Chicago area). Register at http://2enewsletter.ning.com/?xgi=5fRjVktrpoYhb5. You’ll be asked for your name, but you do not need to provide your real name. It does require a valid email address, as well as age/birthdate to satisfy a Ning requirement on participation (no kids). Participants can choose not to have age searchable. There are no ads on the network, and no personal information will be collected/used. It’s simply a resource for the 2e community.
