Blueprint Psychology provides comprehensive gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) evaluations for children and adolescents. These evaluations are designed to identify advanced cognitive abilities while also clarifying learning, attention, emotional, or developmental factors that may be masking or complicating a child’s strengths.
Each evaluation is individualized and evidence-based, using multiple data sources to ensure accurate, meaningful results. Our goal is not simply to identify giftedness, but to provide a nuanced understanding of how strengths and challenges interact—and to offer practical guidance that supports appropriate educational placement, enrichment, and support.
Gifted and 2e evaluations are commonly requested when students demonstrate advanced abilities alongside learning differences, attention concerns, emotional regulation challenges, or uneven academic performance. These evaluations help clarify why a child may not be thriving in traditional academic settings despite high potential.

Giftedness refers to advanced cognitive abilities or intellectual strengths. Twice-exceptional (2e) individuals are gifted while also having one or more learning, attention, or developmental differences that can complicate how their abilities are expressed.
Gifted or 2e testing may be helpful for children who demonstrate advanced reasoning or creativity but also struggle academically, emotionally, or behaviorally, or whose performance does not match their apparent potential.
Gifted and 2e evaluations are typically completed for school-age children and adolescents. The specific assessment approach depends on the child’s age, development, and referral questions.
These evaluations can help clarify uneven academic performance, underachievement, boredom, emotional intensity, attention concerns, learning differences, or why a highly capable child may be struggling in traditional school environments.
Evaluations typically include cognitive testing, academic achievement measures, assessment of executive functioning and processing skills, and review of emotional or behavioral factors that may interact with giftedness.
