English term or phrase: unusual insight
X comes to us with a wealth of experience helping brain-injured children and their families, including a half year supervising and directing the treatment program for a brain-injured young adult. He brings unusual insight and care to all his work with our families, and is constantly seeking new and better ways to help the children who come to the Center.

une compréhension/intuition hors pair
Explanation:
