[quote=Anonymous]DS has various LDs but it boils down to extremely slow processing and an inability to teach himself. As a junior in a mainstream private school with appropriate suports in place (extra time to take tests) he is truly a C student but with aall the extra help has about a 2.8 average.  He is an avid reader so can handle his world history/us history/english classes but Alg ii and chemistry require some serious tutoring. His social skills are excellent and he can debate like a master. His struggles truly are accessing new complicated material. I want him to have the college experience. It looks like he may be able to play his sport in college, likely Division 3 level, so I am confident he will be able to enjoy a community in college. I just dont know if he can perform academincally and want it for him so much.  Like all of us, i have lived some of his struggles and want him to grow into a happy, socially conscious man who will be able tomprovide for his eventual family. I am wondering if a Drexel pre professional program is possible or a MD or VA small private school wouldmhave enough supports in place.[/quote]
