[quote=Anonymous]So much depends on how serious the disability is and what the prognosis is.  If tutoring will catch them up, then that is an obvious solution.  For my oldest, there was no way he would ever catch up.  So we had to prioritize and really focus on what he could achieve and accept that his disabilities were going to prevent him from every getting college ready.  I felt like reading was the single most important thing and, now that he's an adult, I think I was right here.  So we poured everything into that - tutoring, family support, whatever we could think of.  We downgraded math classes to what he could pass (financial math instead of calc sort of thing).  We worked on getting into vocational classes - which involved things like good behavior and attendance.

So I guess what I'm saying is that knowing your kid, looking at things realistically and not as you want it to be, then figuring out the plan.  But, I still think reading is so important.

And, I did find MCPS offered really great reading services that aligned with what the tutor was working on so it was a great team approach.[/quote]
