Although the majority of Dr. Blanche E. Sosland’s teaching career was at the college and university level, she has also taught in classrooms ranging from early childhood to Head Start to middle school. Her areas of expertise include diagnosis and remediation of reading problems in the classroom and twice exceptional children: gifted/talented and learning disabled.

Blanche E. Sosland has done it again! A Call to Action: Identification and Intervention for Twice and Thrice Exceptional Students is an important book because twice exceptional students are a grossly underserved student population and because far too few professionals and parents know how to identify them. This book combines strategies for identifying students gifted in one area—and below grade level in another—with practical “interventions.” It will be useful to those preparing to become teachers and their professors, those who have taught for several years, and parents of twice and thrice exceptional students. As with her recent book on bullying, it is very readable, combines theory and practice, and has numerous real-life examples from her teaching—both from her students and her colleagues.
