What is slow processing speed? Watch as our expert explains how we take in, and make sense of, information.

In this video, Ellen Braaten, PhD, Director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program at Mass General, explains what slow processing speed is and how it affects kids. Also known as slow processing disorder, slow processing speed means it takes kids longer to get something done than their peers, according to Dr. Braaten. Kids with learning and thinking differences may have more trouble with slow processing speed than kids without these differences, says Dr. Braaten. Keep in mind, slow processing speed has nothing to do with intelligence.

Watch as Dr. Braaten explains what slow processing speed is, how it plays out in kids, common myths about information processing differences, and tips for parents to help their kids thrive.
