[quote=Anonymous]Dc  rising 9th grade was just diagnosed (full neuropsych) with—
-Dysgraphia
-Dyscalculia
-very, very Slow processing speed at  “borderline”
- avg IQ (104)
-mainly a b student in an intense/UMC+ school (not dc area)

I have spent the last 3 hours doom scrolling.

It would seem that maybe college won’t be their best path (though they would love to be like their friends by going), they have varied interests but don’t “love” school the  statistically high drop out rate at it  &gt;105 hit me hard.

They are also not a candidate for trades (below avg fine motor skills).

They have some interests and are curious so seem so much better than the picture above. I’m thinking the goal might be to take an “assumption” of college off the table (vs the 2x+ a week tutor, weekly vision therapy that seems to be their new “normal” and is causing stress) or find a really niche program at an open admit type of school ? Or try and look for alternative routes in life?

Honestly, I feel so hopeless and worried about their future. This rambles but needed to vent.[/quote]
