  9. Really thoughtful post. The way you’ve explained the needs of slow learners makes a lot of sense. It actually reminded me of how, in my work with a marketing collateral design agency, we also have to adjust our approach based on how different audiences process information. Whether in education or design, clear and simple communication is everything. Thanks for sharing this!
