Introduction

Being a multiple is very special. There are also unique challenges that may face the multiples themselves, their parents and their teachers.

The aim of this website is to:

• help everyone more clearly understand the implications of being a multiple
• provide accurate information for parents and professionals based upon research
• provide guidance and information for those conducting educational research into multiples.

The website has the sections listed in the column to the left and refers to particular implications for higher order multiples.

To learn more about how and why this website was created please download the flyer which highlights the goals and purposes of this site and it's designers. While this website was developed and intended to be used by both parents and educators, some materials are more appropriate and intended for educators.
