This event is co-sponsored by the Wakefield SEPAC.
We live in a world where quick responding is considered an essential skill; however, many children feel left behind. Dr. Braaten will provide an overview of processing speed and its relationship to today’s quick-paced lifestyles, classroom environments, and home lives. She will discuss the connection between processing speed and other issues such as ADHD, learning disabilities, and anxiety; how slower processing can affect a child’s social relationships and classroom performance; and how caregivers can best accommodate and help students who have trouble keeping up.
