Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 019: Slow Processing Speed—What It Is and How to Support Kids Who Have It · 2 Aug 2016 podcast

So you mentioned a few right there.

We do find that a significant number of kids with ADHD have slow processing speed, but not all of them do.

We do know that a fair number of kids with anxiety.

anxiety or reading disabilities have problems with slower processing speed, but it's not consistently across the board.

So it's one of those traits that tends to run across symptoms and depending on whether it's there or not, you may want to change your approach for a child with ADHD.

So you may want to know that for instance, you don't you have a child who's not going to be overly quick at doing things.

But somebody who's going to take longer.

For a child with dyslexia, for example, who has slow processing speed, you may gear your reading tutoring or the kinds of things that you're using to treat the dyslexia in a little bit of a different way, knowing that you have a child who's got slower language processing skills versus a child who has slower graphomotor processing skills.

Are you going to see problems with getting, you know, sort of output stuff on the page, for example?

So I do feel, and of course it's, you know, I'm kind of biased in this way because this is what I do for a living.

This is what I do.

But I but I do feel like getting a really thorough evaluation when when you're really confused as a parent can be so helpful.

And in those moments when you're thinking, like, oh no, I just can't, well, how are we ever gonna get through this day when we can't even get through breakfast?

It can kind of give you a chance to sort of see the big picture and take a step back and kind of like, oh

Oh, all right.

Yep.

I knew this was gonna be hard.

Now we can fix this and move on.

You know, I find that this becomes a bigger problem when kids get into school.

You know, if you've got kind of a pokey three year old or, you know, a a five-year-old who's, you know, kind of slow to get ready and get going on things, there's there's a lot of leeway at that age.
