Processing Speed Training at The Brain Accelerator

Helping Children Think Faster, Learn Easier, and Feel More Confident

Processing speed is one of the brain’s most important learning skills yet it is often the least understood. When children process information slowly, school feels harder than it should: homework takes forever, instructions are missed, reading feels tiring, and simple tasks become overwhelming.

At The Brain Accelerator, we help children strengthen their processing speed so they can think more efficiently, respond confidently, and feel in control of their learning.

What Is Processing Speed?

Processing speed is how quickly the brain takes in, understands, and uses information. It’s not about intelligence. Many bright children struggle with slow processing because their brains need more time to organise and respond.

When processing speed is slow, even simple tasks feel heavy.

Strong processing speed helps children:

Follow instructions the first time
Write faster and more efficiently
Keep up with classroom pace
Grasp new concepts quickly
Respond confidently in conversations
Complete tasks without frustration

Signs Your Child May Have Slow Processing Speed

If your child is bright but struggles to keep up, you may notice:

Homework that drags on for hours

Difficulty copying from the board

Slow reading or writing

Taking longer to respond to questions

Struggling to follow multi-step directions

Avoiding tasks that require focus

Feeling overwhelmed or easily frustrated

Parents often tell us, “I know my child understands but it just takes them longer.” That’s a processing speed issue, not a capability issue.

How We Strengthen Processing Speed at The Brain Accelerator

We use evidence based cognitive training that targets the brain’s speed, efficiency, and working memory. Our programs are structured, measurable, and personalized to each child’s needs.

Training includes:

Timed cognitive drills to improve mental efficiency
Activities that strengthen rapid visual and auditory processing
Exercises to boost working memory and attention
One-on-one coaching to build confidence and stamina
Progress tracking so you can see measurable changes

As processing speed improves, children learn faster, complete tasks more easily, and experience a powerful shift in confidence.

What Changes Will You See?

Parents typically notice improvements such as:

Faster thinking and better focus

Quicker reaction times during tasks

Smoother reading and writing

Completing homework without battles

Stronger participation in class

More independence with schoolwork

A noticeable boost in confidence and mood

Teachers often report that children “keep up better,” “finish tasks on time,” and “participate more actively.”

Why Processing Speed Matters for Academic Success

Processing speed affects every area of learning:

When processing speed is strong, everything else becomes easier.

Who Benefits From Processing Speed Training?

Children who read or write slowly
Learners who take longer to understand or respond
Children with ADHD or executive-function challenges
Kids who know the answer but can’t express it quickly
High achievers who want to boost speed and efficiency
Children who get overwhelmed by fast-paced classrooms

If your child is bright but struggling to keep up, this program is ideal.

Give Your Child the Confidence of a Faster, Stronger Brain

Slow processing speed doesn’t define your child and it certainly doesn’t limit their potential. With the right training, children can transform how quickly and confidently they learn. If you’d like your child to think faster, learn easier, and feel more capable in school and at home, we’d love to support you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is processing speed and why does it matter?

Processing speed is how quickly the brain understands, responds to, and uses information. It affects reading, writing, problem-solving, conversations, and everyday tasks. Faster processing makes learning smoother and less stressful.

How do I know if my child has slow processing speed?

Common signs include slow homework, taking longer to respond, avoidance of tasks, slow reading/writing, and frustration during schoolwork. These children are bright—they just need more time to process information.

Can processing speed be improved?

Yes. Through targeted cognitive training, the brain becomes more efficient at taking in and responding to information. This leads to faster thinking, better concentration, and easier learning.

What changes will I notice when processing speed improves?

Children become quicker at following instructions, completing homework, reading, writing, and understanding new concepts. Parents also notice increased confidence, less frustration, and smoother daily routines.
