[quote=Anonymous]I think maybe I misunderstood what our son’s psychologist who has done each of his four evaluations was telling us. She told his his learning disabilities (dyslexia, math, and writing) were mild to moderate, and that with support he would succeed. His intelligence is well above average, so to us, desperate and hyper educated people that we are, that meant he would succeed at school like other kids do.

He hasn’t, despite supports and remediation, because school is just so hard that he hates academics, and has since he was small. He’s in 11th grade now. He will indeed graduate and he will go to college (maybe community college , maybe a four year that accepts pretty much anyone). That is success! But I think I didn’t quite get my head around the fact that we could do everything right, work very hard, and he still wouldn’t be heading off to UMD and then graduate school like his friends and family. His path will be different.

For what it is worth, he is well and happy and healthy, so this is entirely my problem, not his.[/quote]
