Would dyslexia be considered a hook, or the opposite?

Corinthian Thank you for the link . . . I had not seen that forum before but will now be doing a lot of reading in it :). My daughter will be taking the PSAT in September (she is in 9th grade now) and I’ve been thinking about what accommodations she will need. As you said, there are a lot of famous/successful dyslexics out there, but I have to admit, whenever I hear of one, I do have to wonder how in the world they got through high school with good enough grades to get into a decent college . . . my daughter is twice exceptional but still has a very hard time, particularly with testing and writing, and although her grades are currently OK (3.8) I can’t imagine she will be taking any APs or getting a great SAT/ACT score . . .
