[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is about pacing. It's faster, with fewer repetitions. I am sure that processing speed plays a huge role. If a child needs more time, or more repetition, that's what general ed is for. A highly intelligent kid with a normal attention span isn't going to "get bored" during a subtest on the WISC that only takes a few minutes. That's a pretty ridiculous assumption. [/quote] My son made it into aap, he has adhd, primarily inattentive. He definitely has an issue with attention and processing speed. It affects his reflexes/actions in sports and how fast he does things. I was concerned when we received the pool letter, and once he was accepted I talked to his teacher. She said he belonged in the program. So I guess it must not be that important to do things fast rather than well? He'll never win at doing 50 problems the fastest, but he'll surely get them right. Seriously, I need to stop reading this posts, they just stress me out :o([/quote]
