Beyond Labels
Aubrey Tyrell Young
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Is your bright, creative child also struggling with focus, organization, emotions, or learning? Do you see flashes of brilliance alongside baffling challenges? You might be parenting a twice-exceptional (2e) child—and you are not alone.
Beyond Labels: A Parent's Guide to Nurturing Your Twice-Exceptional (2e) Child offers clear, compassionate, and practical guidance from child therapist Aubrey Tyrell Young. This essential resource helps you move past confusing labels to truly understand your child's unique profile, where giftedness intersects with challenges like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia), anxiety, or sensory processing differences.
Inside this guide, you will discover:
How to Decode 2e: Understand the paradox of strengths masking weaknesses (and vice-versa), recognize the signs, and navigate the assessment process.
The Inner World: Gain insight into the asynchronous development, emotional intensity, perfectionism, and unique sensitivities of 2e children.
Practical Strategies for Home & School: Find actionable tools for supporting executive function (organization, time management, initiation), emotional regulation (managing meltdowns, building frustration tolerance), social skills development, and sensory needs.
Effective Advocacy: Learn how to navigate school systems, understand your rights (IEP/504 plans), collaborate with teachers, and troubleshoot common issues to ensure your child receives appropriate support and challenge.
Nurturing Potential: Implement a strength-based approach to identify and cultivate your child's talents and passions, balancing enrichment with necessary support.
