“…Adaptation of the survey consisted of reordering topically and rephrasing the items from the format of “I like talking with my teacher about my favorite subject” to “Talking with my teacher about my favorite subject.” The response regime was changed from a Likert-type scale to a two-pronged system of indicating used/not used in the participant’s educational experience, followed by how beneficial the strategy was/could have been ( very, somewhat, not beneficial ). Also, a number of the strategies Kanevsky (2011) used with her gifted (but not explicitly twice-exceptional) participants were replaced by strategies suggested in the literature (Assouline & Whiteman, 2011; Baum et al, 1991; Baum et al, 2001; Hannah & Shore, 2008; Hua, 2002; Jeweler et al, 2008; Nielsen, 2002; Pereles et al, 2009; VanTassel-Baska & Stambaugh, 2006; Silverman, 1989; Whitmore & Maker, 1985; Yssel et al, 2010) as particularly helpful for twice-exceptional students, for example, using strengths to circumvent weaknesses, using compensatory strategies, developing study skills. The compensatory, executive function and learning strategies of Reis et al (1997) were also included.…”
