Sharing strategies for twice gifted

I am interested in differentiation for twice exceptional students. Do you have any favorite strategies that you use in your classroom?
Here are a couple things that I find successful: Sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs offers ADD students some physical activity while helping them focus on learning. Colorful whiteboard notes help students with dyslexia copy notes from the board more easily if each new idea is in a new color.

You might already know these -- making sure to connect personally with students with ADD and making sure to give them positive feedback, since many of these kids only hear negative feedback. For many kinds of 2x exceptional, giving instructions in several modes -- orally, written, and modeling the activity. Giving students choices when feasible.
