    This book is about exceptional students and will discuss the role of teachers and clinicians who work together to support exceptional students in various clinical settings, including public schools in the United States. Exceptional students are children and adolescents whose educational needs are not met by traditional educational programs and include students who are at risk for delayed development and those with specific disabilities. Exceptional students also include those who are capable of performing at higher levels than others of the same age. These students are referred to as gifted and talented and may also experience the need for additional support. Gifted and talented students may also have specific disabilities. These students are referred to as twice exceptional.
