The Bright and Quirky Community and 2E Children: A Conversation with Debbie Steinberg-Kuntz, LMFT
Debbie Steinberg-Kuntz, a marriage and family therapist and parent, discusses the development of the Bright and Quirky community, that she founded to support 2E children who are twice exceptional, and their families. That is, they excel in some aspects of development, typically verbal and cognitive abilities, but may also experience challenges in social-emotional development and specific areas of learning. These children may receive various neurodevelopmental diagnoses including autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders and sensory processing difficulties. Debbie offers guidance for understanding and supporting 2E children and their families.
