It's this idea of speeding things up, and that is the number one question I get from parents and even people who say: well, yeah, I read your book, but you didn't tell me how to speed up my child, and there really aren't ways that we know to speed up anybody. But you know, we don't have a pill that's going to solve that.
Ever wondered why some kids take longer to grasp new concepts or complete tasks? This episode of 'ADHD Focus' brings Dr. David Pomeroy together with Dr. Ellen Braaten, Executive Director of LEAP at Massachusetts General Hospital, to tackle the often-misunderstood issue of slow processing speed. Dr. Braaten, also the author of 'Bright Kids Who Can’t Keep Up', breaks down what slow processing speed really means and how it can be linked to ADHD and Learning Disorders.
She explains how factors like time perception and working memory play a role in this condition. Dr. Braaten offers practical advice for parents on how to support their children, emphasizing the importance of teacher awareness and positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for actionable tips to help your child navigate their unique challenges and thrive, this episode is a must-listen.
