We at Glen Ellyn Media, Linda Neumann and Mark Bade, are longtime professional writers and parents with personal experience in 2e issues. It’s taken us many years to reach the point where we feel we have a pretty good understanding of the needs our children have and the challenges they face.

It’s been a struggle to find the books that held the explanations, the professionals who had the understanding, and the organizations that could provide the support we needed. One of our main goals in starting this newsletter is to make it less of a struggle for others who deal with twice-exceptional kids.

An equally important mission for us is to enhance communication and understanding among parents, educators, and medical/mental health professionals. To that end, we want to reach out to as many individuals in each of these audiences as possible. We welcome your input and want to incorporate your viewpoints and experiences into our articles. Our goal is to promote a holistic view of the 2e child – not just the high IQ, or the quirkiness, or the disabilities, but the child as a whole person.

Guiding us in producing this publication is our Editorial Advisory Board. To help ensure that the topics we cover are of interest to our audience members and that we  convey accurate and up-to-date information, we will rely on the judgment, opinions, and recommendations of these professionals.
