<p>HS junior, looking for a school that can offer him the support he needs (dyslexic, ADD, and 3.0 average student) to pursue an engineering degree. </p>
<p>Very out of the box thinker, but not an academic!</p>
<p>any ideas? we are in Texas, and open to anything! </p>
<p>Most universities have policies to assist LD students. What, specifically did you have in mind?</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t really know. Tutoring. I do know his current accommodations will forward into college. Extra time, use of a computer for written reports…I just hear some schools are very supportive, and some are not…not sure what the difference is…tutoring is the main support that could be a factor. </p>
<p>Most universities have tutoring centers for all students and it is always possible to find private tutors around a university. I agree that universities can be more or less accommodating and campus visits can help you decide which schools fit you best. Look into smaller private engineering schools like those in the [url=“<a href=“http://theaitu.org%22%5DAITU%5B/url”>http://theaitu.org”]AITU[/url</a>].</p>
<p>“not an academic!” - . It’s good that you are sorting through this, looking for an appropriate situation. Do know that any engineering is going to have tough math/science classes with intense problem sets (many hours of homework each class). It may be thatthis just the kind of thing your kid like (ie not English, papers etc). Just make sure he knows what to expect. </p>
