[quote=Anonymous]My dyslexic kid couldn't read in 2nd grade, much less write a sentence, but now is a good writer and is at a selective liberal arts college. It took many thousands of dollars of testing, tutoring, private school, etc, to get to that point of course. There are some colleges that are specifically for kids with LDs (Landmark in VT is one), and lots that are willing to work with LD kids, and some that just aren't. If your DC is already in HS in MCPS there seem to be lots of college resources for special needs kids. Or try Judith Bass, an educational consultant. We heard her speak and she was excellent and knows tons about specific colleges and which are fits for certain types of LDs and which aren't. Keep in mind that colleges are not required to provide the same accomodations as secondary schools so it is important to find one that will.[/quote]
