Julie F. Rosenbaum Skolnick, M.A., J.D., is the Founder of With Understanding Comes Calm, LLC, and author of the award-winning book Gifted and Distractible. An internationally recognized expert on twice exceptionality (2e), Julie consults with parents of gifted and distractible children, mentors 2e adults, trains educators, and advises clinicians and organizations seeking strength-based, research-informed approaches to complex neurodivergent profiles.
With over a decade of experience supporting families and adults worldwide, Julie is known for translating nuanced theory into practical tools that reduce shame, increase clarity, and elevate self-confidence. Her work integrates gifted education, ADHD research, emotional regulation science, and positive psychology.
Audiences consistently describe her presentations as validating, rigorous, and actionable — often sharing, “I finally feel seen.”
Julie hosts courses, memberships, and book studies for parents, adults, and professionals, and publishes the widely read Gifted and Distractible newsletter.
She lives in Maryland with her husband and their three twice-exceptional children, who continue to inspire both her work and her humor.
