Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 019a: Slow Processing Speed — What It Is and How to Support Kids Who Have It · 10 Nov 2023 podcast

So let me comment on that first.

It is, they are one in the same in some ways that it's not just about taking in information slowly or just putting it out slowly.

Sometimes it's both, sometimes it's one or the other.

So basically, you know, going

Going back to what you were saying before about that a lot of people didn't know what slow processing speed was, it is a fairly new kind of concept.

And it's one of the things that I was finding in, you know, I've been testing kids now for 20 years.

One of the things I was finding is that there was this group of kids that regardless of the diagnosis, or sometimes they had no diagnosis, like by that I mean they didn't meet criteria for ADHD or reading disability or dyslexia.

They just tended to be struggling in school because it took them a long time to do stuff.

So, slow processing speed, one of the most simple ways of defining it is it's how long it takes you to get something done.

And there are a lot of different aspects to that.

So, there's a part that has to do with us being able to process it, take it in.

There's the part of us having to kind of come up with a response, and then it's the output.

So for any one child, it could be one or all of those things.

And very often, and I think in some ways, the person that you were commenting on that she said her child takes stuff in very quickly, that's very often, you know, they're very bright kids.

And what happens is they can take it all in, but the ability to kind of get it out on paper for many different reasons, sometimes it's in the organization of information, sometimes it's a graphomotor issue.

And so there are different aspects where that can break down for you.

So again, we've got sort of like, it can be slow at getting process in, slow at kind of working with it in the mind, and then slow at getting it out.

But then there are also different aspects of that as well.

You can have verbal processing problems, visual processing, motor processing problems, and just kind of general sort of processing, just, you know, sort of like taking in information just in general.

So lots of different things that we can talk about in this.
