Packet of Information for Professionals

Packet of Information for Professionals (2007 and 2008) was originally developed for professionals who work with gifted and talented students with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intended for The University of Iowa Belin-Blank Center (BBC) programs. PIP-2 is a second edition, which expands the student population to include gifted students with other disabilities, specifically attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disability (SLD). Students with high cognitive ability and a disability are referred to as “twice-exceptional.” It is also our intention that PIP-2 is accessible to professionals who work with twice-exceptional students anywhere in the world.
