Twice-Exceptional (2e) Assessment

Is your child brilliantly creative yet struggling in school? Intellectually gifted but facing unexpected challenges?

At the Colorado Center for Assessment, our specialized twice-exceptional (2e) evaluations identify both exceptional abilities and learning differences—helping gifted children with learning challenges reach their remarkable potential.

Your Twice-Exceptional Child, Understood

Without proper 2e assessment:

Your child’s gifts mask their struggles, leading to misunderstanding
Their learning differences hide their talents, limiting their potential
School becomes increasingly frustrating despite obvious intelligence
Traditional gifted or special education services miss the mark
Your child feels like they don’t fit anywhere

Our 2e assessment provides:

Clear identification of both exceptional abilities and learning challenges
Understanding of how strengths and difficulties interact
Educational recommendations that nurture gifts while supporting challenges
Documentation for both gifted programming and learning accommodations
A path to renewed confidence and achievement
