[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are his disabilities such that it would be hard for him to take a full college class load? [/quote]

OP here. Missed this question. No idea. He's taking 3 AP classes this year, and is managing well, but as I mentioned, does not have much in the way of extra-curriculars, so that he can focus on school. How does that compare to a college load? Obviously this is my eldest, and I did not go to college in this country :-) [/quote]

They typically take FEWER classes in college than high school.

I had my child (who also has a learning disability) start with a light load (still full time, but on the low end). Once she got her bearings and we saw that she was adjusting well, she got to chose what she took each quarter. It has worked out fine and she will graduate on time. (Not early, or with a double major like some of her peers...but I am MORE THAN content with how well she has done.) And she feels very successful, which is wonderful to see. All options are open to her from here. [/quote]
