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

Like it sounds like you have for your son like you know what math facts are not the be-all end all and he's just never going to be the first one done with the one minute multiplication tables and kind of let that go.

Mm-hmm.

In some way

That can be so freeing.

Then we want to make sure that we're accommodating a child and accommodating the number one things you can do is to give them extra time, extra time for everything, but particularly extra time on tests, extra time for being able to get notes done in class, any sorts of accommodations that they can put into place for school to make again life.

More efficient and to give them adequate time to do what it is that they need to get done is key.

But then I also think there's a piece here too about advocating.

And it starts with the parents to be able to say, you know what, this is my child's profile.

In today's world, and that's a big piece of this too.

Forty years ago, this wasn't an issue.

You could be sort of the last one done and and it wasn't such a big deal.

Now we have so many things.

things to juggle that it's so much harder to get everything done, even for people who don't have slower processing speed.

So I think being able to advocate for your child, being able to educate your family, your child's teachers, and then also being able to get the teachers on board can be extremely helpful.

And then eventually help your child understand this is who he is.

And

There's no shame in being a slower, deeper thinker.

In fact, it's kind of what a lot of us strive for in life.

And I've you know, I've said before many times, like, you know, we all go to sort of like the yoga retreats, we go to the, you know, like the Zen centers, we go to, you know, our our church groups or whatever to kind of slow down.

We take, you know, workshops on how to slow down.
