[quote=Anonymous]I see you are focused on college but unless you are doing college just for college sake, it’s really important to figure out the career part and how you get there. For us, the education really needed to lead to a job because we aren’t going to be leaving a trust for our kids. Also, just from experience, my kid with low processing speed and very high IQ, but EF issues and anxiety as well, has really struggled with college. He gets good grades but he works at school work for like 8 hours a day every day. He lives at home and has taken over the kitchen as his study area, so we watch it. He does not get the fun benefits like going to sporting events or parties. But he is successful and he loves learning so he’s ok with doing what it takes. Some ideas besides the trades that don’t require a college degree might be something in the medical field like infrasound technician or X-ray technician. Good luck. [/quote]
