The Double Empathy Problem and Implications for Teachers
In the next part of my series, I’m looking at what the Double Empathy Problem means in practice, day to day in a learning environment.
If we understand that communication breakdowns between autistic and non-autistic people are mutual (not the sole responsibility of the autistic student), how does that change our approach in the classroom?
How might our assumptions, expectations, and environments unintentionally create more disconnect, and what can we do to bridge the gap?
How might slow processing speed be identified in the classroom?
Here's the second installment of my series on processing speed. This post examines how we might spot slow processing in our students, and our own children.
What is Processing Speed
‘Slow processing speed’ is something I’ve encountered a lot recently, both personally and professionally. So, I’ve been doing some research into what it is, and what we can do to support students who are affected in this way.
This will be the first in a series of 3 - if you find this helpful, look out for my next post next week.
