[quote=Anonymous]Because kids with LDs do expend so much energy and effort, I think high school's a good time to start to feel out where they're getting the stronger grades (of the Bs and the Cs, which subjects tend to be the Bs, where's the occasional A) and, for efficiency sake, making sure that if DC does electives in areas more related to them and, if she has the bandwidth to do an honors class in her sophomore and junior year (which she may - if her issues are expressing and manipulating material, rather than understanding it, a class with better students may actually provide a better context for her) that helps make the case for her specialization.

Colleges do get that you're likely to major in something and that the bulk of your grades will be in that subject, so start making the case that she'll be sucessful in some set of areas. Many of the schools we've talked about here would take a good look at the application of a student with demonstrated sucess in the area they think they'll major in, even with uneven grades overall.

That also helps you identify colleges because you can look by speciality or focus.
