[quote=Anonymous]It'll give her a chance to retake ACTs and SATs with accommodations for one.  Two, she can explore having some supports in her senior year in HS to see what helps or doesn't help.  Then use that eval for college.  After she gets college acceptances, whether it's at a CC or 4 yr college, she can send her eval in and find out what supports she qualifies so she can be most successful.  Also, she can do a CC for 2 years and try to transfer to a 4 year college.  YOu save a lot of money and still graduate from a good 4 year.  I think you have to factor in that many people don't plan on going to CCs for 2-4 yrs so it's understandable that they have lower graduation rates.  I still think your daughter could be on a regular college track if you pick the right school.  Those consulting companies know all the schools and what kinds of students they work well for.  I went to a presentation on college for kids with learning differences put on by CCC and they mentioned the following as possibly being good fit for kids who need some support: RIT, Northeastern, High Point, McDaniel, Yukon, Maryhurst, U of Ariz, Lynn, U of Denver.  Also I've heard that U of W. Va has a good support system for kids with ADHD. These may not be the best fit for your daughter but the point is there are a lot of schools out there for all kinds of kids and learning styles.  An eval can potentially help your daughter with ideas for approaches to school work that will make it easier and she can take to college.  Also can identify her learning style to help figure out what type of school is best for her (large vs. small for example). The ACT is a red flag that she has some issues with learning and there are ways to investigate this and get her better support.  [/quote]
