Would dyslexia be considered a hook, or the opposite?

@compmom -

Good suggestions. I have already been in contact with the disabilities office at the college S17 will be attending in the fall. His GC emailed up a copy of his current IEP and most recent triennial testing. The college will review the documentation and reach out.

As for the test accommodations, SAT granted them easily but he was turned down for ACT the first time and scored a 19 composite. I actually called the ACT people and they pulled his file and said that he was denied because his category is “LD.” NYS apparently doesn’t list dyslexia or dyscalculia and ACT doesn’t accept “LD.” Fortunately, I was able to get the school to provide supporting documentation and ACT granted the accommodations the second time around. He got a 24 and then a 27 and then we stopped. I wish I had realized that sooner.
