@vwlizard Thank you so much. Yes, he has had a neuropsych evaluation done and just so we all know what we are dealing with, he has ADHD (which is managed very well with medicine) and a mild case of dyslexia. They actually call it stealth dyslexia because he has such a good memory that he’s able to memorize words and compensate for the dyslexia. For many years, I knew there was something amiss, but his teachers would brush it off. As he got older, and reading and writing requirements were more challenging, it was harder for him to hide it, which is why/how he was finally diagnosed in 6th grade. We will have a new neyropsych evaluation done next year as well in case he needs specific accommodations (he has none as of now). So while his LD are not preventing him from succeeding in school currently, it’s really important that he continues to get help as needed once he’s at BS so he doesn’t become frustrated and lose interest especially in a more academically challenging environment.
You make a great point about being able to check out more schools virtually this year without making a commitment to them. Which is really going to help because we have quite a list going now!! When I showed my husband the list of schools from this thread (several of which were crossed out because of inconvenience) he said, don’t worry about location. Let’s find the best school for him, and we can deal with logistics later.
