Ley-Anne Folks
S. Ley-Anne Folks is a Canadian educator specializing in twice-exceptional (2e) learners. Her interdisciplinary M.Ed. investigated supporting executive function development in gifted students with co-occurring ADHD. This led to exploring the combined impact of executive function (EF) delays on other 2e conditions (LDs, ASD, anxiety) that impact learning in a classroom setting. As a Learning Strategist for 2e learners in grades 5-8, she helps teachers build their capacity to work with 2e students in the classroom, creates innovative learning plans, and provides one-on-one instruction to support and help 2e students develop their academic and EF skills. Ley-Anne is currently pursuing an Ed.D. in Cognitive Diversity at Bridges Graduate School.
