[quote=Anonymous]If your kid has learning struggles at school( like dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia or something similar), how they are doing now at MS/HS? What do they do as an adult? With IEP and parent's support/active involvement/private tutoring, does things normally get better or get worse when they get older? It makes me lose patience to sit and re-teach my ES kid when it comes to reviewing what she learns at school and doing homework together, I & DH have been taking turns to do it and trying our best. It has been painful and not fun for everyone, and sometimes I have to hold my frustration & anger at the thought why she can't get it after showing her many times. At this rate, we will be really really happy if she could graduates high school with a diploma, and we will be beyond excitement if she could attend any 2 year/4 year college and graduates in any major. We have thought about it what happens if she could not graduate high school because of failing grades, and it seems it will limit her choices for jobs that she could do. We are in MCPS. We have tried to explore her interests, and we hope that she could make a living out of it one day if school is really not for her. We have not given up on her yet, but we want to prepare for the worst case. Any wise advice or tips for parents with ES kid struggling with it and worrying about the future? [/quote]
