ABSTRACT

Chapter 6 considers the issues related to co-parenting a twice-exceptional child with your partner. Possible considerations related to a mismatch in parenting styles and how to communicate with your partner to establish a collaborative approach to parenting are examined, along with ideas about how to handle a situation where one parent doesn’t agree that the child is neurodivergent or twice-exceptional. Finally, ideas to develop a proactive plan to co-parent between households when a child is in a shared custody arrangement are offered.
