[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old ADHD Inattentive first got an IEP based on slow processing speed before even formal ADHD diagnosis.  Receives support for writing and gets typing accommodation.[/quote]

NP here but really curious about what an IEP goal for slow processing speed looks like.  DS has very slow processing (and has dysgraphia) ... getting ready for IEP eligibility meeting
TIA![/quote]

Personally, I don't think there can be a goal for " processing speed, as it's not something that can be ameliorated to any degree.  Rather the slow processing speed has a ripple effect on the acquisition (failure to acquire) the academic skills.

Example, my DC is a slow processor.  He is always a couple beats behind in math, especially whenhe has to write and follow solutions on the board at the same time, yet he has a very good head for math - faster than me at seeing things sometimes.  He doesn't need special instruction. in math, he needs class notes, extra-time, extension of deadlines, etc.

However, in writing, he needs not only extra-time but also a lot of instruction for organization and grammar and edting.  IMO, his slow processing probs contributed to a sort of messed up acquisition of language[/quote]
