Accurate perception of time and pulse, as well as execution of rhythm, can be troublesome for students with neurodevelopmental disorders due to slow or inaccurate decoding skills, motor timing skills, visual processing, and rapid temporal processing. Timing deficits can affect performance in core music classes, particularly in the vein of ear training and conducting. Up to 20% of the population could have one or more learning disabilities, making it statistically likely that professors will encounter students with these conditions each year. Students and educators can begin to recognize signs of timing deficits and apply simple strategies for accommodation and remediation.
