Product Description
Dr. Dilks and Dr. Hutchinson identify there being more than one type of processing. For example: verbal expressive, verbal receptive, gross motor, and fine motor. etc. All areas (realms) of processing speed depend on interaction with other systems, which don’t always mature at the same rate and contribute to problems with reading and writing.
A thorough medical, psychological and educational evaluation is recommended.
This Tip Card suggests several activities following identification of the specific processing speed issue or problem, including:
Enhancing visual processing speed --
- work with a colored paper that attracts the individual’s attention
- keep exercises short
- take other visual impairments into consideration (i.e.: glasses, contacts, cross-eyed, etc.)
Enhancing writing speed --
- develop fine motor strength and control with hand exercises
- ensure working knowledge of basic shapes, basic words and sound abilities
- work with oversized letters and large writing instruments
- utilize soft writing material for client comfort (i.e.,: crayons, cushioned pencils).
