Twice-Exceptional Students Participating in Advanced Placement

What do twice-exceptional students and their
parents, teachers, and guidance counselors identify
as the supports and barriers for students with
disabilities, participating in Advanced Placement
(AP) and/or College Level Learning classes? Thirty
parents, teachers and guidance counselors of twice-
exceptional high school students participated in
this study, reporting about their perceptions and
experiences. Six twice-exceptional college
students, who attended Advanced Placement and/or
other for college credit classes while still in high
school, describe their experiences as well. Through
a semi-structured interview process, themes emerged
indicating what helped twice-exceptional students to
successfully participate in Advanced Placement
and/or other for college credit classes, and what
barriers to participation they encountered along the
way.
