[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what will happen with his acceptance but I wanted to offer a suggestion for the community college time. People think CC is easy but the classes are the same as what will be taught at a 4 year school and the expectations will be the same.

I highly recommend registering with disability services early on. At my sons school if you don’t register by a certain point very early on you don’t get accommodations. And you have to register for every single class - there was no generic accommodation that covers you.

Also check out resources like tutoring. My son’s school offers some generic assistance and also offers tutoring for specific classes by people who know the course content, which was so helpful. Signing up is through different systems.

And this probably goes without saying, we’ve seen that if my son’s school offers falls behind in the beginning he’s not going to catch up. There is no breathing room. You’ve got to start strong and keep up.

My sons issues are slow processing speed and ADHD. he has to have his medication to be successful. And even with that he spends at least 15 hours per week of work for each class. He doesn’t really struggle with the content once he understands what they are looking for and math and science are much easier than humanities. Still the time commitment outside of class is a lot.

Anyway, good luck to your son. I was really impressed with the resources available to struggling students. [/quote]
