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 right now it's typically not.

Sufficient to just say, oh, my child, you know, look at the like for the WISC, the Wexler intelligence scale for children, they have a very, very slow processing speed.

Everything else is at, you know, in the average range or above.

That's typically not enough.

Now some school systems will allow that and and get it.

You know, like people who understand kids understand that that can be much more impairing than a mild dyslexia without processing speed issues.

What I generally recommend is to find something in the profile where processing speed is causing real time, real life difficulties.

So for example, it may just be in just math fluency that really like, you know, their reading is great and they're

uh reading fluency is fine, but their math fluency isn't.

So for example, I think you you were talking about, you know, your son being great at math, but yet when he had to do math fluency skills, he was weak in those.

That specific learning disability in, for example, math fluency skills, does get most kids accommodations on a 504 or if they would need it on an IEP.

So yes, you you want to get an evaluation.

That kind of digs deep into, you know, how does processing speed affect academics?

That's the best way around getting services outside of also, you know, if they have also an attention problem.

But to really look at how does processing speed impact written expression, how does it impact um reading fluency, math fluency, that's the best way to try and document.

Yes.

Yeah.

So if you get an evaluation, you wanna make sure that they look at academic skills and how this impacts academic skills.

Almost always it does.

Almost always you can find some kind of documentation.
