[quote=Anonymous]We haven't gotten to HS or college yet, but I understand American Sign Language can be much easier for kids with dyslexia and counts as a foreign language.  I know of one person who took ASL at a community college when it wasn't offered at their school and was able to get that counted against the requirement.

I've also been told that if a dyslexic person has to take a foreign language and ASL isn't available, Latin frequently counts and can be tremendously helpful since it is the language of science (and, since it's not a living language, there is not the emphasis on conversation).

Lastly, I highly recommend this book for both you and your DS -- https://www.amazon.com/Dyslexia-Empowerment-Plan-Blueprint-Confidence/dp/0345541251
The author has profound dyslexia and this book is primarily about his experience in the educational system, including completion of his MBA.  He is really big on self-advocacy.  I listened to the audio book and recommend that format since it includes some extra pieces on how the author did his own audio recording.

Hope this helps a little.
