[quote=Anonymous]My dyslexic, ADHD child is in college. Dyslexia is tough but not a death sentence. She is smart but a super slow reader and has various other learning issues. She gets extra time on tests in college. She is allowed a couple of other accommodations (like access to notes) but hasn't, at least to my knowledge, used them. She's dropped a couple of classes. She goes to a top 50 SLAC (although towards the bottom of the top 50). She has probably a C/C+ average, which is fine with us. We know she's working hard at it and her grades have never reflected her level of effort. Exams are just not her strength. Hopefully she will graduate in 4 years, but she might need an extra semester. She is aiming for graduation, not phi beta kappa. 4th grade is too early to be worrying about college but for those who are closer to it I recommend Bass Educational Services. We found them too late to use them but they help find college fits for LD kids. [/quote]
