[quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written your post about my daughter. She is incredibly bright but also a slow processor. I think you need a WISC-IV and a neuro psych eval (they can do both at the same time) and then you will know better what to do. If she has ADHD or ADD, a mild stimulant will help her pick up her speed. You don't have to have her on it every day year round, and you can either stop taking it or switch meds if you want-- it's not a life sentence to try it. We did 18 mon of stimulants, and DD did pick up some speed. She learned what it felt like. It's been years since she was on the stimulant. It's not all perfect, she's still slower than a lot of kids, but luckily the older they get, you can find educational situations where the processing issues can be accommodated and then your child's creative and intellectual abilities will shine and not be dragged down so much by the processing piece. Good luck! [/quote]
