TAG TALK
​Speaker Series

TAG TALK is a FREE speaker series.  For the upcoming school year we have the following speakers on topics of interest for both educators and parents. Talks will be presented virtually, unless otherwise noted.

• September 12, 2023: Please join us on Tuesday, Sept 12. at 5:30 when Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Matthew J. Zakreski, PsyD will discuss "Neuroscience of how kids learn and what neurodivergence is" ​

Dr. Zakreski

​Title:  2E or not 2E:  Implications of Giftedness and Twice-Exceptionality for Serving Neurodivergent Learners
Program:  Giftedness is a concept that is often complicated and misconstrued within the education community.  When giftedness co-occurs with a documented learning difference (i.e., ADHD, specific learning disabilities), a concept known as twice-exceptionality (2e), then the awareness is even more scarce.  This presentation will overview the definitions of giftedness and twice-exceptionality as elements of neurodivergence and explore how these students interact with educational and mental health systems.  This presentation will provide meaningful strategies for intervening with these neurodiverse students, both inside and outside the classroom, and work with attendees to practice them for future implementation.  Lastly, Dr. Zakreski will share a series of resources for professionals to further their education in intervening with this complicated population.
