[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is the DCUM bubble, but I don't understand the hand wringing over whether college would be appropriate.  A 26 on the ACT is in the 82nd percentile - better than a majority of students who attend four year colleges.  [/quote]

OP here.  Thank you for your comment.  I'm just guessing that, if he had not had extra time (time and a half), the score would have been lower.  Extra time seems like a big advantage of something like the reading section, where you have time to go back and check the passage.  [/quote]

I'm 10:58. It isn't a special advantage. He needs the accommodation and is entitled to it. it is leveling the playing field. You definitely should look at larger schools if that is what your ds wants. He needs to be in an environment where he is happy. There are lots of lists online like best schools for adhd etc that you can google. Oh, I totally forgot - look at the SALT program at University of Arizona. I have heard great things about it. It may be a perfect fit for your ds if he wants a big school.[/quote]
