About Dr. Danika Maddocks

Dr. Danika Maddocks is a gifted/twice-exceptional (2e) parent coach and owner of The Gifted Learning Lab. Standard parenting advice doesn't work for parents with gifted, neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD, and twice-exceptional kids - in fact, it often makes things worse. Danika helps parents let go of standard parenting pressures and build a unique family life that actually works for their gifted/2e kid(s) and themselves. Her approach is rooted in the neurodiversity paradigm and is informed by 15+ years of supporting gifted/2e families as an educator, therapist, award-winning researcher, and school consultant - plus personal experiences growing up gifted, recognizing her own autistic neurotype at age 39, and raising a young gifted/twice-exceptional kid.
