[quote=Anonymous]Colleges are very strict about who qualifies for disability services and accommodations. They require a recent neuro-psych testing report after admission. In high school my child had to work twice as hard for a 3.0 gpa & that’s with tutoring and accommodations. What does the spiteful nasty poster want—to ban LD students from college? I agree with the helpful & knowledgable poster that the student with LDs should be transparent about her learning differences on college apps so that she can eventually self advocate & get the help she needs to be successful. My child was open about his LD challenges on his college apps. But then again, he only applied to colleges with excellent academic support centers and disability services. Our son has had an IEP since 3rd Grade. We wouldn’t want him at a college that didn’t welcome & support him. If parents are gaming the system, it’s the exception—not the norm.[/quote]
