twice exceptional 

Twice Exceptional (2E) refers to gifted and talented students who have some form of disability and are considered exceptional because of their special needs and intellectual gifts. 

 

These types of learners thrive on specific classroom support and curriculum to succeed in achieving their academic goals. The Waterloo Schools is the first in the state to offer 2E support for students.

 

The WSF has partnered with Steve & Becky Gearhart to support 2E with over $58,000 since 2017!
