Giving a Name and a Face to Adult OEs

Presenter: Molly A. Isaacs-McLeod

This SENGinar is a discussion of over excitabilities in gifted adults. Over excitabilities can serve as both a driving force and a liability for not only gifted children, but gifted adults as well. They are what makes us good at what we do; they are also what can cause social friction. Learning to identify OEs and self regulate can help gifted adults not only feel more comfortable in their own skin, but also use this key characteristic of giftedness to their advantage.
