In this session, we will present the latest research findings on overexcitabilities from the international, IRB research study published in 2024. Through examples from the research, an exploration of bright minds, bold ideas, and the intersection of curiosity, and creativity will take place. Attendees will see the distinct differences in the holistic expression of multiple, higher-level overexcitabilities, experienced together.
Participants will walk away with the latest research and understandings of emotional, intellectual, imaginational, psychomotor, and sensual overexcitabilities. The findings will help teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, and parents to even better recognize and support bright minds, bold ideas, curiosity, and creativity in their interactions with all young people including gifted and highly-profoundly gifted children and adolescents.
