| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Thanks, everyone, for joining today! We'll use the Q1, Q2… format for questions. Please use the A1, A2… format for answers. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg First question coming up... #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q1. What are some signs of slow processing speed in a child both at school and at home? #LDchat https://t.co/ivT5jnbPjv |
| Sara Kast @sakastcomcastne q1 not answering immediately or answering quickly with "I don't know" #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A1 Most obvious sign is an inability to complete tasks in a certain time period. The problems can be visual, verbal, motor, or a combination. Most tasks require some combination of these skills but some kids can be weaker in some than in others. |
 | Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine Slow pace for paperwork or scanning visual details. But also if seem to need time to answer oral questions or to share thoughts. #LDchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A1 Problems completing homework, understanding & answering questions, following directions, & understanding social nuances are common. In older kids, not finishing tests on time, poor time management, and trouble keeping up with class discussions are common. |
| Faith Park @FaithPark18 #ldchat A1 confused look, not answering at all |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @ellenbraaten: #ldchat A1 Problems completing homework, understanding & answering questions, following directions, & understanding social nuances are common. In older kids, not finishing tests on time, poor time management, and trouble keeping up with class discussions are common. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Slow processing speed can affect kids in the classroom, at home and during activities like sports. Review some common trouble spots. #LDchat https://t.co/OUlotrFVDc |
| Faith Park @FaithPark18 #ldchat A1 thinking they understand when in the class but then doing homework it becomes confusing |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat yes @faithpark18 a confused look is a tell-tale sign! |
| Sara Kast @sakastcomcastne q1pretending to know #ldchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg As a an academic therapist and former teacher, vocabulary and speech are a component (teens and young adults). If you don't know what words mean, sounding out does little. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Review these signs of slow processing speed, from preschool to high school. #LDchat https://t.co/9KOsTIy4aH |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg Thank you for the Signs link! #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Ever wonder what it might be like to have slow processing speed? Follow Sophia throughout her day. #LDchat https://t.co/otIBJ7QGjJ |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let's move onto Q2... #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. Why might a child with slow processing speed be more prone to #anxiety than her peers? #LDchat https://t.co/QFkrmBUx9X |
 | Martha @OurKIDzCan RT @UnderstoodOrg: Ever wonder what it might be like to have slow processing speed? Follow Sophia throughout her day. #LDchat https://t.co/otIBJ7QGjJ |
| Faith Park @FaithPark18 A2 I fear of getting called on in class and not having time to think #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A2 Problems with PS affect many areas of daily life. Kids constantly struggle to keep up with things like homework, the pace of social relationships. Constantly feeling like you’re a step behind can make you feel anxious. |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Slow processing speed and #anxiety can fuel each other. #LDchat https://t.co/XpSr6H6vEP |
 | Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer A2: Especially in the classroom, the fear of being called on when not prepared. Why IEPs need to address this - e.g. allow child to raise hand when ready vs. being called on cold. #ldchat |
 | Sharon LePage Plante @iplante Hello #LDchat popping in for a few as board to head to present @AssisTechKnow |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @EdNavigation: A2: A2: Especially in the classroom, the fear of being called on when not prepared. Why IEPs need to address this - e.g. allow child to raise hand when ready vs. being called on cold. #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A2 My research shows that kids with anxiety have higher rates of Slow Processing Speed (SPS) and we don’t know if the anxiety causes SPS or if the SPS causes anxiety. It’s probably some of both. |

| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante A2: no child with slow processing should be called on without being given time to formulate a response #LDchat |

| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #LDchat Q2: the world around them spins too fast for them. Falling behind peers in finishing work that would make them feel ‘stupid’. Same for feeling shamed for not doing what is expected in a ‘timely’ manner. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Read this mom's story about the "aha" moment her daughter with slow processing speed had, and how she learned to manage her emotions. #LDchat https://t.co/WnDWmzx0q8 |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg Older students with ADHD and learning disability want to fade in with"normal kids." They may self-ostracize. Anger and depression often can result , #LDchat |
| Faith Park @FaithPark18 it slowly takes a toll on their self confidence #ldchat |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg Thank you for the SPS and Anxiety information. #ldchat |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante Using #edtech can enable all students to participate and share without the anxiety of needing time to process #LDchat |
 | South East Cornerstone Public School Division @SECPSD RT @UnderstoodOrg: Read this mom's story about the "aha" moment her daughter with slow processing speed had, and how she learned to manage her emotions. #LDchat https://t.co/WnDWmzx0q8 |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @iplante That was difficult as a math teacher with more than 30 per class. Any suggestions? #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Great conversation! Let's move onto Q3... #LDchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @iplante - you're right effective use of #edtech can help kids become more efficient, and thus, quicker at completing many tasks |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. What are your tips to help a child with slow processing speed in the classroom and at home? #LDchat https://t.co/BMBKEztqpZ |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @iplante finding tech is creating more of difference and high reluctance to use. #ldchat |
 | MiPAAC @MI_PAAC RT @iplante: Using #edtech can enable all students to participate and share without the anxiety of needing time to process #LDchat |

| South East Cornerstone Public School Division @SECPSD RT @UnderstoodOrg: Q3. What are your tips to help a child with slow processing speed in the classroom and at home? #LDchat https://t.co/BMBKEztqpZ |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A3 School accommodations: extra time on tests, help with note-taking, breaking assignments into chunks, classroom routines, & appropriate use of technology are on the top of my list along with TEACHING KIDS HOW TO TELL TIME |
 | Greg Bagby Ed. Tech/ Leadership @Gregbagby YES!!1 And not just your standard "wait time" #LDchat |
| Sara Kast @sakastcomcastne a3: Right now i am trying to get my daughter to let her needs be known.She is at an age where she doesnt want to draw attention #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat A3 Home tips: Teach the concept of time, keep routines the same, keep stress to a minimum, if homework is taking too long & is unproductive, talk to teacher about accommodations. |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante @edielovesmath Using a tool like Draw and Tell students can demonstrate their knowledge in it with voice and drawing #ldchat |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante @edielovesmath Yes! Would depend on what you are doing, and age group. A tool like @Classkick (whiteboard style tool) allow students to do their work at their own speed #ldchat |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg will a transcript of this chat be available? #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Here are 27 classroom accommodations that may help a child with slow processing speed. #LDchat https://t.co/cVpD1SzCjg |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat you can't learn how to manage time if you don't have a good concept of what it is. Teach kids to read an analogue clock. Help them understand how long 10 minutes is versus 30 by keeping track of how quickly time passes. |
| Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer A3: Avoid "on-the-spot" questions where responses are required, avoid giving multiple step directions, create a supportive environment where accuracy trumps speed, be sensitive to auditory overload. #ldchat |

| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @iplante - Great suggestions! |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #ldchat q3: extra time to do work but within reason. Use of visual timer if not anxiety provoking. Reduction in number of questions while keeping same quality of work. |
 | Geraldo Barbosa @geraldorb RT @UnderstoodOrg: Q2. Why might a child with slow processing speed be more prone to #anxiety than her peers? #LDchat https://t.co/QFkrmBUx9X |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante @edielovesmath Other option @seesaw also allows students to use photos and video to explain thinking #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg This is a common issue with many kids. Any suggestions? #LDchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @bax_rebecca Yes. I will be tweeting it out later today, but you can also find it later at https://t.co/Dv6EPzPWE0. #LDchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @lanatan_duine - yes, don't sacrifice quality for quantity. They aren't one in the same. Busywork is not an effective strategy for learning concepts. |

| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg Thank you! #ldchat |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #ldchat q3: much patience by parent and teachers required! |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A3 Slow processing is a huge issue for older kids with LD and ADHD. The challenge revolves around comprehension. Use reading apps (text-to-speech and audio software. Organization skills are important as well. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Parents, have you considered these 5 ways to help your child with slow processing speed at home? #LDchat https://t.co/3acMWWjCIe |
| Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer @UnderstoodOrg Teaching self-advocacy skills begins early which means first understanding when a need exists and then teaching the stepwise skills to access support/assistance. #LDChat |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante @edielovesmath Also explore @learnfreckle for Math #ldchat |

| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @Ianatan_Duine and understanding our own processing speed can help us with this issue. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Taking notes in class can be difficult for students with slow processing speed. Here are 7 strategies that may help. #LDchat https://t.co/NjAmSgHvsP |
| Faith Park @FaithPark18 #ldchat great tips for home use |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Last question coming up... #LDchat |
| Carmen Talledo @wcvirgo @Ianatan_Duine Interesting, parents can do it but what about teachers? Looks that they will need more training #LDChat |
| Sharon LePage Plante @iplante RT @UnderstoodOrg: Here are 27 classroom accommodations that may help a child with slow processing speed. #LDchat https://t.co/cVpD1SzCjg |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q4. Why might some people struggle to understand that processing speed is a real issue? How would you discuss it with them? #LDchat https://t.co/6lxnm1uhyb |

| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @wcvirgo @Ianatan_Duine Teachers need to be trained to educate ALL students! #ldchat |
| Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer @UnderstoodOrg Keyboarding is an important accommodation for students with both processing and fine motor skills issues. #LDChat |
 | Dorinda Peyton @dorindapeyton How can we help kids who continue to struggle with writing due to slow processing? #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @wcvirgo @Ianatan_Duine You're right! Teachers also need to think about their own PS and what that means for the kids they're teaching. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg "Slow processing speed often looks like kids are lazy or unmotivated, though they are neither." #LDchat https://t.co/MgXzrcXUC8 |
| Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer @UnderstoodOrg A4: It's another "hidden disability" issue which creates additional challenges for students (and parents to explain). Education is key as is clearly delineating how this difference manifests including in the IEP. #LDChat |

| Faith Park @FaithPark18 #ldchat our district uses the app read/write, students can use the speech to text feature to do complete written assignments. |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg Actually heard this from a teacher for my daughter during summer school after her kindergarten year. #ldchat |
| Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer @dorindapeyton Keyboarding. Providing scaffolding of the content for the student to fill in blank areas (starting small). #LDChat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat @dorindapeyton keyboarding can be a big help for some kids, but not all. Dictation can help others. Speech/language therapy that targets executive function skills in language can help kids organize their thoughts and ultimately become more efficient & productive writers |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg It's important to explain to a child that having slow processing speed doesn't mean he's not smart. #LDchat https://t.co/NgBTZ3dG5n |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Any final thoughts before we wrap up for the week? #LDchat |

| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat Slow processing often looks like kids just aren’t trying and it can be frustrating for people to watch. It is a biological issue not a motivational one, but most people don’t know this. Giving them information may help change their perspective. |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Thanks for joining today's chat, and a very special thanks to our cohost, @ellenbraaten! #LDchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten #ldchat Slow processing can be caused by low levels of certain brain chemicals, different neurotransmitters, and slower brain maturation, particularly with regard to myelin – a substance that helps our brains process information quickly |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RSVP for next week's chat. We'll be joined by #dyslexia advocate @KristinMatzKane to discuss ways to motivate kids with dyslexia. RSVP now: https://t.co/qjCi123pBy #LDchat https://t.co/fg75CRBJv7 |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Have a great day! #LDchat |
| Carmen Talledo @wcvirgo @UnderstoodOrg Thanks to everybody for another great chat #LDChat |
| Rebecca Bax @bax_rebecca @UnderstoodOrg Thank you! #ldchat |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat One last thought.....Using data – scientific as well as your child’s specific evaluation data – is the best way to help people better understand this issue |
| Ellen @ellenbraaten @wellsdept #ldchat Reducing anxiety always helps us process information better so safer environments are helpful. Stimulants can be helpful in increasing attention, and if attention problems are making a child anxious, it could be a useful treatment approach to discuss with your doctor |
