Abstract
In this thesis I identify the experience of giftedness/ADHD, offer a clinical analysis of what challenges these children face, what supports are in place for gifted/ADHD children, as well as the areas that require further research. I will recommend a strengths based approach for teachers, counsellors, and caregivers to support their twice-exceptional children as well as how these
children can practice coping skills such as self care and communicating with educators, to make sure their needs are being met more effectively.
