[quote=Anonymous]Classes are college level. As far as taking "notes" it depends on the type of class, but students are doing work and turning in work. My child is not 2E, but from the application form, it seems that they are willing to work with students that might need some accomodations.

As far as performance at school, I think my kid really enjoys the extra challenge. It's so much more rigorous than regular school it doesn't really improve performance at regular school, just gives them an outlet to really challenge themselves. Can't speak to college applications, as my kid isn't there yet.

First step really is to test in, however. Whole discussion is moot if your child doesn't make the cut score on the SAT, ACT or that other test CTY accepts (can't remember the acronym--it's on the website.) How is your child at taking tests? I think your first step should be to sign up for the Talent Search (the entrance test). It can be valueable practice regardless of whether your kid actually makes the cut, or does and for whatever reason doens't end up enrolling in any CTY courses.

If they do qualify, you can follow up with CTY staff with more in depth question regarding accomodations for your child's particular learning disabilities.[/quote]
