Eulogy For Doubly-Gifted Children

Improved Essays
Hello Mr. Costello,
My daughter has ADHD. She’s also very talented in math. And she’s been accepted at some of Chicago’s most challenging schools including Northside College Prep, IMSA and UofC Lab school. I don’t say this to be boastful, but to show my understanding of what a parent of a “doubly-gifted” child is looking for. This messaging can be difficult to manage for most, and not everyone can do it effectively. It’s a challenge that demands a unique communication narrative perspective. I’m hoping you’ll find I’m uniquely qualified and the right person to fill your Director of Marketing and Communications role.
Over a long, and successful career in Chicago advertising, I created many unique and ownable brand platforms and marketing messages

    Reading The Explosive Child by Ross W. Greene and Superparenting for ADD by Edward M. Hallowell and Peter S. Jensen has shed some light on teaching students with different challenges and abilities. As Greene puts it, “kids do well if they can” (2010). This statement is something we as educators should keep in mind when working with students who exhibit behavioral challenges or may be displaying signs of ADD. Greene tells us that if our students had the capability of dealing with the challenges set before them adaptively, they would do so. Children do not enjoy the struggles, arguments, and other negative consequences of their maladaptive behavior any more than the parents and teachers do.…

    It is with heavy empirical evidence that children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically exhibit discernible educational impairments. Some scenarios and/or subjects vary in the severity of which their symptoms diminish their func-tionality. These students are typically easily distracted or may even be disruptive to a class in progress, since their cognitive ability to focus is underdeveloped. The manner by which the child’s educational institution facilitates its method of treatment for the disorder is pertinent to the child’s academic success and retention of conceptualized ideas within and outside of the classroom. The child’s behavior and academic performance co-function simultaneously in con-junction with…

    Damon falls into a group that underserved. Identifying a twice-exceptional student is more of a challenge than identifying students with one exceptionality, especially in the occurrence of children whose abilities and disabilities mask one another. These students may be performing on grade level, so they do not raise a red flag to their teachers. Addressing the needs of twice-exceptional students involves working with both the gifts and the disabilities. This can pose a challenge for teachers, because often twice-exceptional students spend the majority of their time in general education classrooms, or even gifted classrooms, where teachers are not used to assisting students with disabilities.…

    The setting both influence the characters and reflects the author’s own context. William Wordsworth, which actively expresses his disregard for formal studies during the period of industrialization, is one of such authors. In addition, values of the Romantic Era, such as the appreciation and majesty of nature are prevalent in the poem “The Table Turned” written in 1798. In this piece, he depicts a preferably older speaker to teach a studious young boy that nature is of greater value than academia. This urgent need for change is also evident in Martin Luther Kings inspiring speech “Eulogy for the Maytred Children” delivered at the funeral of four innocent children on September 15, 1963.…

Many young adolescents don 't realize that they have ADHD and they have a hard time social interacting with fellow classmates and friends because they don 't know how to communicate. The students that I work with easily get distracted and get off track quite easily (Horta and Polanczyk, 2007, p. 5). Some will just get up and go get a drink with out hesitation, others might just yell or speak up…
