[quote=Anonymous]Careful with this. College may require 2 years of Foreign Language in HS.
Basically you may put your child out of College that fits his/her needs. Alternatively, you have to explain on  application that your child has problems.
School may look positive or negative at this. I would not start school application with emphasis on SN. You can disclose after child is accepted.
Here is reasonable plan for foreign language. I think that kid with dyslexia should be able to handle it. 
Wait with language until 7th grade.  Take language 1a (whole year) in 7th. If necessary repeat in 8th (Grade goes to HS transcript).  If ok with grade take 1B in 8th. If not OK with grade repeat 1A/B in 9th. (I believe you cannot take 1A or 1B for whole year in HS.)  Then Take 2B in 9th or 10th. Retake until happy with grade. (Only highest grade goes on transcript. Lower grade is erased. You can repeat Fl class as many times as you wish.) 
Higher a tutor from day 1 if you can afford.  Use Quizlet non-stop. By Roseta Stone for use during summer.
Take only first two years of language.  Surprisingly, you kid will know something and everyone will be happy. It is a lot of work. Most likely your kids will be able not to take FL in college. (Pick the one that allow to replace it with something.)
