The Lab School Lecture Series: The Science of Processing Speed: Why Some Children Struggle to Keep up, and the Impact on Learning and Attention
“Many of our children struggle with slow processing speed; but what does this mean, exactly? In this lecture, we will describe what is meant by the term “processing speed” and discuss its role in learning and attention problems. We will discuss strategies for supporting children with slow processing, as well as useful accommodations. In addition, we will describe a new research initiative between The Lab School and the School of Education at American University designed to better understand and help children with processing speed challenges.”
