The internet can be an amazing place for twice-exceptional (2e) kids to learn, connect, and dive deep into what they love. But some of the same traits that make our kids unique can also create risks online. In this practical webinar, cybersecurity leader and CGCC President Tabitha Flax will help parents and caregivers understand those risks, from cyberbullying and scams to exploitation and AI companions. You’ll leave with simple, strengths-based ways to set boundaries, start conversations, and stay connected to your child’s online world—without relying on fear or surveillance. Join us to help your 2e kid explore online spaces more safely and confidently.
