Developing Growth Mindset for 2e Kids

A Cajal Academy Neuroscience in Education Workshop

Friday, May 9, 12-1 pm

Brown Bag Lunch; Virtual Link Available

Twice exceptional kids can accomplish incredible things, but often struggle to develop the growth mindset required to develop their gifts.

In this Educational Workshop, internationally-recognized neuropsychologist Steven Mattis, PhD, A.B.P.P. and Cajal Academy Head of School Cheryl Viirand, J.D. will discuss the unique neuropsychological profiles of twice exceptional kids, why it leaves them prone to perfectionism, resistant to learning outside of their own interest areas and vulnerable to classroom avoidance or even school refusal, and how you can use this information at home or in the classroom to help them develop a growth mindset.

About the series

This is the first in what will be a series of workshops presented by Cajal Academy staff for parents, educators and other providers who support bright, gifted and twice exceptional kids. Borne of our work to develop neuroscience-based educational approaches, this series represents the beginning of our work to publish and disseminate the findings we have made through our work with students enrolled at Cajal Academy, and the transformative changes our students have made within the program.

We encourage you to visit our admissions page if you are interested in exploring enrollment opportunities for your child; school district personnel and other professionals are encouraged to visit our Outplacement Resource Center to learn how we can support school districts and their students.
