My Twice-Exceptional Superpowers
Use fictional examples. Leave out diagnoses, medical information, names, passwords and contact details.
Learning goal: Identify strengths and interests while giving support needs equal importance.
The word superpowers is an invitation, not a requirement to feel extraordinary. You may call these strengths, interests or things you enjoy. Strong abilities and significant support needs can both be real.
- Choose a real or made-up learning situation. Leave out names, diagnoses and private details.
- Explore the three activities. Choose supports that fit you; skip any that do not.
- Write, type, draw, point, sign, use AAC or ask someone to scribe your own ideas.
- Choose one next step and an adult who can help make it possible.
Grades 3–5 support: Use the prompts and examples, or explain your ideas in your own way. Ask for words, a scribe or one direction at a time.

Accessibility & alternative responses
Use oral, AAC, signed, tactile or typed portfolios. No diagnosis or identifying information is required.
Teacher facilitation
Do not romanticize disability or minimize needs with strength language. Offer advanced learning and individualized support together. Let students reject the superpower metaphor.
Family-use suggestion
Invite the learner to choose what to share. Try one support together, ask what helped, and change the plan with their permission. Do not turn this sheet into a test or require private information.
Specialist formats
These printouts are not Braille. Embossed Braille and specialist tactile materials need qualified, technically validated production. The accessible digital version supplies structured text, not a specialist-format substitute.
