I agree, emeraldkity. I also think that many kids with learning disabilites do well at competetive colleges. The year my
D graduated, one of her classmates with ADD was admitted to Harvard. But then, he was an A student with all the accompanying qualifications - a great all-around kid as well. Everyone was happy for him because they knew how hard he worked and how deserving he was-no one I knew resented the little bit of extra time he was given on the SAT.

(I guess I should have said SOME parents with ADD kids will disagree. )
