Helping Your Twice-Exceptional Child Transition to Middle School
Middle School Dean Alexander Stern shares practical strategies for supporting twice-exceptional students as they navigate new routines, executive functioning demands, friendships, and growing independence.
Their three-stage approach—Get Ready, Build, Stay Tuned In—offers guidance for families before, during, and after the transition.
