<p>–Is there any possibility that your S might be willing to investigate getting re-tested over the summer and getting accomodations for his dyslexia? Big State Universities, because they tend to get federal and state funds, have to accomodate at a very strong level. Also, NC is one of the states which really does extremely well in this area, and is considered to be a leader and innovator. The professors I know who teach there rave about the creativity and ability of the LD kids and all that they bring to the table. I “get” that he feels uncomfortable about it, and I know it is a decision he would have to make for himself. But, to suffer needlessly, and more importantly, to not get an excellent education because he is constantly stressed and unable to perform, is such a needless waste. We are really moving into a post reading and writing economy, right now, and though education has not yet caught up, your son might really benefit from understanding that the strengths he brings, as a dyslexic, far outweigh the deficits. There a psychologists who not only test but based on the tests spend some time explaining the strengths and weaknesses to the student, and how to best utilize the strengths to compensate for these blind-spots. (I have a dyslexic, dysgraphic D, just so you know I know how challenging it can be to watch talented kids in this type of situation.)</p>
