<p>A few things I think you should keep an eye on:</p>
<p>Many schools have an office that assists students with any kind of learning issue. Depending on what his issue is, and whether or not you can provide any documentation, he may qualify for either assistance or allowances. A friend of mine was severely dyslexic and was allowed extra time on tests, and in some cases to have an aide with him during the test to help him read it. My wife worked in that same office for a few years and I know arranged assistance for people with much milder issues.</p>
<p>When you are looking at schools, I would pay attention both to their corporate recruiting events and their graduate programs. While not a major issue, the corporate recruiting events do give you an idea of who in industry likes the school and therefore serves as an easy reference for how good the school is at preparing professional engineers. I would pay attention to the grad program primarily in case your son wants to go to grad school - if he does, he will greatly benefit from some undergraduate research experience, and that is often hard to find in schools that lack a solid graduate program. Please note that this is mostly a grad program issue - if he is set on industry, the research matters a lot less.</p>
