[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe college isn't the right choice. Trade school is highly underrated--stylists/mechanics/plumbers routinely make 6 figures.[/quote]

While that is true for some kids there is nothing wrong with shooting high for LD kids. They are often smart, and even gifted, but just have learning differences. My DC is LD/ADHD, will be graduating from a top 30 college this year and has been accepted to a good graduate school for next year. Just because a kid has LDs doesn't mean they have limited options.[/quote]

This might be derailing the thread but did the college offer help foe LD students or was he able to maintain grades on his own?[/quote]

He got accommodations (mostly extra time, although he qualifies for some others) although he had to meet individually with each professor at the beginning of the semester to go over that. Did have to meet the language requirement which was a challenge. Just like HS grades were okay but not great, about a B average. The tend not to reflect effort or learning but that's okay. [/quote]
