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 the child has frustration all around them.

Right?

issues are the same?

I do think that it does matter to differentiate between them all because you want to know where it's breaking down for your child.

So, for instance, going back again to the parent that you were just referencing before, she knows that it's not in the input.

It's somewhere in the output.

And so in terms of being able to determine what kind of treatments are most helpful and

getting a really thorough evaluation that looks at all of these areas of functioning can be extremely helpful.

And so you want to know, rarely is a child delayed in all areas of processing speed.

And it cuts across disorders.

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 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 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 dyslexia.

slower language processing skills versus a child who has slower graphomotor processing skills, where you're going to see problems with getting sort of output stuff on the page, for example.

So I do feel, and of course, I'm kind of biased in this way, because this

do for a living.
