Frequently Asked Questions
What does extra processing time mean?
Some children need more time to take in information, think through problems, and formulate responses. This is about processing speed, which varies naturally.
How does the curriculum accommodate processing time?
Lessons include extended wait times, broken-down instructions, visual supports, fewer items per page, and flexible pacing without time pressure.
Will my child always need extra processing time?
Processing speed often improves with maturity, but some people are naturally slower processors. Homeschool eliminates the time pressure that makes this a problem.
