PRESENTATION OUTLINE

PILLAR 6 PROCESSING APPROACH

Processing issue is a general term that describes a variety of learning disabilities influencing how the brain processes information. As you may know, computers have processing speeds—the speed at which the machine can compute large amounts of information. If you’ve ever had a slow computer you’ve experienced the drag and occasional crash as it attempts to process data. Like computers, the brain processes information at different speeds. Some people process quickly. Others struggle to handle large amounts of sensory data. Many of the students at Telos have processing issues.

Band·width
ˈbandˌwidTH/

Think of your brain pathways as a bandwidth . Information travels through the bandwidth . Processing students have a small bandwidth. Data going into the bandwidth (e.g., sights, sounds, stressors, etc) is not processed efficiently. Like a large download, a processing student’s brain can freeze up with too much stimulation. This freeze up looks like shutting down, isolating, getting angry, being oppositional, and getting stuck in rigid thinking.

The Fix
1.) Control the amount of data
A- Forecast
B- Front load
C- Break it down(swim)
D- Slow it down
E- Appropriate expectations

2.) Teach mental flexibility
A- Arm around the Shoulder
B- 80/20 rule
C- Producers path

3.) Creat a new bandwidth
A. Consistent exercise
