[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually, the disability assessment doesn't factor in until the child is accepted at most colleges I've looked at.

The student still has to meet the minimum requirements to get into college.  Not every major requires a foreign language just like not every college requires it.

I've seen some colleges who are wonderful with disability accommodations and others who only provide the bare minimum.     [/quote]

Most of those colleges that say they have a foreign language requirement (or recommendation) for admission will waive it if the applicant reveals an LD.  You can tell when they they give general admission requirements but not exact requirements.  We found this when we were investigating last year.  You can also fish around the their websites and find the language that indicates flexibility.   It is not exactly hidden, but it isn't easy to find unless you are specifically looking for it.  One notable local exception is UVA, on their website they indicate a student has to flunk a class before they will consider waiving the requirement.   [/quote]
