[quote=Anonymous]I am an adult with dyscalculia, and a host of other LDs. I struggled with math in ES, MS, and HS. I topped out at Algebra 2 and only took 3 years of math in HS. I attended a four-year college, a SLAC, and earned a C in Stats. I went on to grad school in political science and earned a PhD. I even taught statistics. I did fine with Stats, even more advanced stats, once we were using computer programs to handle the calculations. I had learned the concepts and understood the process but was not able to demonstrate that effectively in school. Once the math turned into, pick the right method and apply the following procedures, I was good to go.

I am not sure how much math has changed today, my kid did not inherit my learning issues and is ahead in math, he loves the subject, but I have to imagine that there are still colleges that will take kids who struggle with math. I think the key is identifying a major that does not require a strong math component and being able to explain why your math progress was different then progress in other classes.[/quote]
