I do.

And and one of the other things that I do at Massachusetts General Hospital is direct a uh program, an a assessment center, um, called the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program.

So I have a little bit of I I I am able to do clinical work with families and kids and direct a program and then also have become very active in um getting the information out to the public through understood and through the Clay Center.

So it's been great to be able to do that.

Yes, and the Clay Center is a little bit more broad where we look more at uh emotional issues and more sort of like um what's happening in the in the media or in the world and how that might impact kids too.

So they're they're both great resources for parents.

Yes.

So let me comment on that first.

I it it is, they are one in the same in some ways, that it's 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 slow processing speed, one of the most simple uh 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 it's there's a a a part that has to do with us being able to process it, take it in.
