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

It's really when the academic skills become really, really important.

And it kind of depends on where you live and and what your school system is like or what your private school, if you're in private school.

Private school is like.

But generally I find that this starts to become a problem sometime between second and fifth grade.

And you know, for some kids who are really bright, they can kind of get by and people will just sort of say, oh, well, you know, they're just not very motivated, or, you know, he just doesn't work hard enough or something like that.

And that's rarely ever the case.

I mean, you know, fourth graders are usually typically motivated to do what they're doing.

They like to please people.

Mm-hmm.

So if your child is finding, you know, if you're finding that your child's not doing that, there's usually a pretty good reason.

So I I would say sometimes that early elementary school time is a good time to do that.

Now, some of these kids will already have been diagnosed with ADHD or uh with a learning disability, and the processing speed is just a layer of that or you know, to that.

But what happens is sometimes you've got a child with ADHD.

You find great ways to treat the ADHD, either medication or things in the environment that you're changing, but somehow life doesn't get that much easier.

And sometimes it's the it's the processing speed that is the thing that's just that really makes life more difficult.

Mm-hmm.

You know, you get them to pay attention, you can sit them in the front of the class, all of that sort of stuff.

But when it's you know, when it's time to actually do the stuff that needs to be done.

Yeah.

That's where it can get, you know, pretty difficult still.
