The emotional problems and negative behaviours that often result from a lack of recognition and understanding about dual or multiple exceptionality can lead to school exclusion and school refusal in many cases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;28929&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1609687505162{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Dual or Multiple Exceptionality Advice Sheet<\/h2>\n<p>For more information on how to support children with dual or multiple exceptionality at home or in school, see our free advice sheet <a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/F01-Dual-or-Multiple-Exceptionality.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">F01 Dual or Multiple Exceptionality.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31637&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1690197688541{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Other Dual or Multiple Exceptionality Advice Sheets<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/index.php\/product\/autism-hlp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">F02 Autism and High Learning Potential<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150121-F05-Sensory-Processing-Disorder-and-HLP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">F05 Sensory Processing Disorder and High Learning Potential <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150121-F07-Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder-and-HLP-Children.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">F07 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and High Learning Potential<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/index.php\/product\/pa517-supporting-dual-or-multiple-exceptional-profile-high-learning-potential-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PA517 Supporting Dual or Multiple Exceptional Profile High Learning Potential Children<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Supporting Children with Dual or Multiple Exceptionality&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|font_size:36|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1609702674632{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31635&#8243; img_size=&#8221;475&#215;330&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598717552936{background-color: #f8f8fc !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]In   [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31635,"parent":31644,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29851","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
