I think it is really important that you think about and strengthen what WORKS for you rather than or in addition to what doesn’t work as well. For example, does it help if material is read aloud and you listen? If so, I bet there are audio versions of many textbooks, especially with Kindles and ereaders coming out. Does doing something with what you read help? If so, perhaps better strategies of creating materials to recall what you read might help. For example, I used colored paper and created cheat sheets for each chapter as I read when I was in school. I also did an agenda, where every 15 minutes I had to indicate whether I had read the 5 pages I had planned and what I thought was most important.

You have worked so hard to get where you are - you deserve assistance in continuing your successes! Don’t be embarrassed - be proactive! This is your LIFE!
