It can look like a child who takes forever to start.
Who erases everything and starts over or gets frustrated and shuts down.
Who was just fine five minutes ago and now is melting down over a worksheet.
Or who appears distracted or disengaged.
👉Because the behavior looks like avoidance, defiance, or a bad attitude, many kids with slow processing speed spend years being misread by their teachers, their parents, and sometimes even themselves.
If this sounds familiar, assessing your child's (or your own) processing speed and getting a complete cognitive profile can give you important information about what's happening in the brain to make learning harder and more frustrating than it needs to be.
