This may be technically true, but it’s not going to do any good if the teen refuses the accommodations![/quote]

This my teen refused all accommodations aside from keyboard use.  He also just would not accept tutoring.  At a certain point i could not force him to participate.  He is dyslexic.  His writing is still poor.  He did make it through college but I think it will hold him back in his career.[/quote]

Another mom of a dyslexic kid who refused all sorts of tutoring and accommodations and in general just WOULD NOT do more school-related things than he absolutely had to. He will go to college, but he isn’t “reaching his potential.” That’s okay. He can later if he wants. And he may not be reaching his academic potential, but maybe he’ll reach his human potential, his kindness potential, his love potential. That would be even better.[/quote]
