[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think your child would be looking at schools that will work with her needs. For this reason, I can't imagine it hurting her.

My own DD had an IEP for OHI (ADHD and anxiety), and she got into all of the colleges she applied to- but we are not talking about Top 30 colleges. She had no trouble getting into Big 10 schools and a couple of SEC schools, and the in state options she wanted ([b]with the caveat that she did not want UVA/ W&M[/b]).

The support the IEP provides is way more important than worrying about future college limitations.[/quote]

That's what they all say.[/quote]

Ha! I was that poster and it’s actually the truth. She did not want an environment as competitive as her NOVA high school and decided to not even apply to the most competitive. So she applied to Wisconsin instead of Michigan; South Carolina over UGA, etc. That was my point- a school list should be a list composed of schools that can work with your child’s dyslexia. Our list was carefully crafted based on supports for ADHD and making sure it wasn’t cutthroat due to her anxiety. If the list is well done, they won’t think twice about the IEP even if they notice the support class.[/quote]
