I'm looking for parents with kids who have a diagnosed disability of slow processing speed, but I'd be ok with parents whose student has slow processing, but doesn't have a formal diagnosis.
For those that have accommodations for slow processing speed, what are those accommodations? Has your student used them? Was the school open to the accommodations? What about individual professors.
I am in the process of finding inexpensive (re)testing for my son, 18, whose on a gap year. I would like to have that in place before he heads off to college in the fall. He will already have diabetes and a physical vision disability logged in with the disability office, but the retest may also flag both his slow processing and his math disability. He was tested at ages 10 1/2 and 12, and processing speed and math %iles were super low compared to overall IQ and achievement.
He is most concerned about his slow processing and keeping up with the workload. Not so concerned about the math disability. Says he can muscle through the vision disability.
Thanks in advance.
