[quote=Anonymous]I am right now traveling in Europe and need to find a tutor for DS who is in college. He has just been diagnosed with slow processing speed last week.(full evaluation) He thought it was dyslexia, and it could be that the psychologist is not so well versed in adult dyslexia, but assessment showed that his word recognition and facts knowledge is really good, the rest not so good. We are not sure what to make of his results. He has always had some LD, but is such a hard worker, that his grades and even college grades are As and Bs. He is self sufficient and now taking care of the house, pets, lawn,(while the rest of us are traveling) and works full time during the summer, earning a lot of money as an athletic coach. He even found a part time job at college that he is starting in August. We are all confused as how is all this possible if his results are accurate. He always needed more time for academic tasks, but has no accommodations and hasn't had them since HS. Psychologist assumed that he would have had harder and harder time as HS progressed, but it was just the opposite, in fact he had more learning issues early on and less and less by the end of HS. It was always severe social anxiety that was the issue prior to this, and visual learning style. He is very open to finding a tutor/coach(he asked me to help him find a tutor) to help him improve his learning speed and comprehension during the summer and even online during school year, so that he can improve his study skills in college. On top of this his grades are pretty good for a varsity college athlete who is among the best on the team. If you know a tutor in MD/DC area that could help him develop better learning skills, or a tutoring center for even the last month of the summer, please let me know. Sorry if I sound confused, it has been a bit of a shock getting these news right now, and as you can imagine hard on my adult DS as well. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions. [/quote]
