[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter’s best friend is at [b]SCAD, [/b]another classmate with dyscalculia is at Eckerd, and I know another family with a child at USC and one at College of Charleston.

(DD went to dyslexia- focused schools so for us this is a common challenge in peer group)

All were looking for non-math majors, and one is doing well in computer science as he loves coding.

If you can, find a tutor with multi-sensory math training (Marilyn Zecher). And focus on math as it relates to practical stuff.  The design student needed to focus on business-type math as she wants to open a studio.

And they can take the opportunity to tell the story in college essays, not just about struggle, but about what they like.

In our experience geometry was the worst math and it increased math anxiety which became the bigger issue.  Data analytics math really helped fix that along with tutoring.

I know it feels like a terrible slog right now, but it really does get better.[/quote]

But SCAD is not a “ mainstream four year college” which is what OP asked for.[/quote]
