In the UK, the term Dual or Multiple Exceptionality (DME) is used to describe those who have one or more special educational need or disability and also have high ability (which Potential Plus UK calls High Learning Potential or HLP). Potential Plus UK has produced this fact sheet to inform, support and advise teachers, professionals and parents/carers of DME children. Issues related to educating, parenting and supporting a child with DME are covered in this fact sheet. Treatments for specific special educational needs are covered in other Potential Plus UK Fact Sheets relating to particular diagnoses. -
Extraversion is one of the “Big 5” broad personality traits that many psychologists agree on and have been supported through research. Each of the five personality traits represents a range between two extremes, therefore Extraversion represents a continuum between extreme introversion to extreme extraversion. Whilst personality traits can change through life and are contextual, it has been noted that a higher proportion of high learning potential people have traits of introversion than do the general population. This advice sheet is an introductory guide for parents of high learning potential children who show traits of introversion and it will help them to understand what introversion is and how to work with it. This advice sheet is free to members of Potential Plus UK. Log in to access it free of charge.
