Then the other things that we talk about in the book that I wrote about bright kids who can't keep up is that we call the three A's of processing speed.
So we want to accept it.
We want to, you know, accept the problem, which I've already talked about.
We want to accommodate it.
And then we want to advocate for them.
So acceptance is that, you know, like I've already talked about getting that thorough evaluation.
You want to document the problem.
And you need to sort of, in some ways, accept the fact, 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,
kind of let that go.
In some ways, that can be so freeing.
Then we want to make sure that we're accommodating a child.
And accommodating, the number one thing 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.
40 years ago, this wasn't an issue.
