<p>Wow, BC. You’re a great Dad.</p>
<p>When D was in high school, since she has dysgraphia and dyslexia, she knew a lot of kids with ADD and whatnot, since they lump them all together and offer them the same accomodations as if they all have the same needs, which they do not. So…we do know some families who have had kids attend the Landmark summer program.</p>
<p>Mixed results. But I will say this unreservedly, if it was a kid who really wanted to find the solutions to the problems? The kid got a ton out of it. If it was a kid whose parents wanted him/her to find a solution, not so much.</p>
<p>Kind of like most things.</p>
<p>I’m very encouraged to hear that colleges are beginning to offer academic coaches…I think it is such a great solution for all these incredibly gifted but slightly lost kids. I’ve felt for a long time, reading your guys posts, that offering your sons the same accomodations as my dysgraphic daughter is just one-size-fits-all at its worst…it doesn’t help, but they believe they’ve “done something.”</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to the day when you all write your book for parents…if you decide to throw in a chapter on the dyslexic set, let me know and I’ll add my .02. Good luck.</p>
