[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I checked the date on your post and the thread to make sure I wasn’t in a different forum. There have been similar in different forums lately.  I’m a HS teacher, with teens of my own.  I see a lot of teens with and without disabilities.  One of mine has SN and the other doesn’t.

So many stop long time activities in HS, especially sports, scouts and music. Stop the worry about college.  He WILL have so many options.  Both of my kids stopped their long time sport after 9th grade, suddenly.  They were just done.  And life went on. It took time but they found other things.

And read up on the college forum.  You will see that these don’t necessarily help with admission anyway.  Sure, maybe if he’s a recruited player or and Eagle Scout but that’s so few.  Give your son space to grow and develop.

Puberty hit my kid with SN hard. He had to leave school for a while for therapies and drop all EC for a year and get by with homebound tutoring.  He still had his choice of many colleges.  [/quote]
