[quote=Anonymous]Question for OP. Does your DS take medication to help with ADHD symptoms? If not, that might explain the low processing speed (or might not). DS has had an IEP since first grade due to ADHD. School testing documented low processing speed - the testing led to the ADHD DX and eligibility for an IEP. In 3rd grade (he's going into 5th), he was tested privately at Kennedy-Krieger and was taking ADHD medication - the low processing speed moved up to average. He still has ADHD and a lot of organizational issues, in addition to some LDs, but medication might help (or not). Good luck![/quote]
