尋找閃爍的北極星──從讀本探討身心障礙資優教育的重要性

Looking for the Twinkling North Star ─ Examining the Importance of Education for Twice-Exceptional Students from Stories

本文企希從身心障礙資優教育相關讀本《向星星祈願》（Effect Hopes 譯，2019）及文獻資料，將所思所想比喻成一次尋星之旅。筆者分別從有如夏季大三角的典範故事中，進行三方面的探究，深入了解三位典範者「符合身心障礙資優教育界定的條件及理由」、「成長歷程與優勢才能」和「所歷經的挑戰及突破困境的成功因素」。結合身心障礙資優學生支援服務系統，進而探討典範者在支援服務中的狀況與需求，從中獲得對於特殊教育的省思及收穫，思考現今身障資優教育的重要性，期許自己能成為北極星的探尋者。

The purpose of this article is be analogized to a journey for finding star from related papers of students with twice-exceptionality and a reading text 'A Wish for Zander'. I focused on three of them as the model story of the “Summer Triangle”. I would analyze them and focus on three topics: (1) why the protagonists fit the definition of “twice-exceptional gifted children”; (2) their growth history and advantages; and (3) the challenges they experienced and the success factors for breaking through difficulties. Comparing the analysis and the support service system for the disabled and gifted students, I would explore the status and needs of the protagonists and the support services they obtained, and I would reflect on the special educational system in practice. The article concludes with the importance of the education for twice-exceptional gifted students today and the expectation on the roles of seekers as the North Star.
