Kids with slow processing speed are often considered lazy…

However, these kids are often very intelligent, they just process information slower than their peers.

Kids who experience processing speed tend to get distracted easily when asked to complete tasks or directions. But, there are a few modifications or adjustments that can be made in class to support their needs.

If you suspect your child or students have a slow processing issue, you may notice the following:

😶‍🌫️Unorganized and often forgets to turn in homework
😶‍🌫️Rarely completes tests on time and leaves multiple questions blank during timed tests
😶‍🌫️Struggles with math, sequencing and calculations
😶‍🌫️Is distracted frequently by background noise and finds it difficult to concentrate

👀 Visual processing and visual perceptual skills are not the same thing!

Both are essential for learning, movement, and everyday tasks but they describe different parts of how the brain makes sense of what we see. 🧠

When educators and therapists understand this difference, they can better support students who struggle with visual information. 💪

🧠✨ Understanding Stimming: What School Staff Need to Know

Stimming is a natural and meaningful way many children regulate their bodies, emotions, attention, and thinking. It shows up as movement, sounds, touch, visual patterns, or repetition.

🔄 While it’s often misunderstood, research and autistic lived experience show that stimming is not misbehavior. It’s a powerful regulation and communication tool that helps students feel safe and organized.

🧩 Stimming can support focus, reduce stress, manage sensory input, and even help with thinking and problem solving. For many students, it makes learning possible.

🤝 Stimming only becomes a concern when it causes harm or creates safety issues. In most cases, acceptance and understanding go further than correction.

🌱 When school staff understand why stimming happens, classrooms become more supportive, inclusive, and effective for all learners.
