How much help do you give your child?

<p>

</p>

<p>Your son may NEED more help with the college application process than others. We asked our kids what kind of help they wanted organizing the college applications and such. We figured out what needed to be done and then they did what they could alone, and then we helped with the rest.</p>

<p>I would strongly suggest that you consider colleges with excellent disability services. You want your son to be able to get help if he needs it (he will need to avail himself of these services himself).</p>

<p>If you are very concerned that video games will consume his time, perhaps starting off taking a couple of classes at a school where he can commute would be a better choice than a residential college.</p>

<p>BUT to answer your question …how much help? We gave our kids whatever help they needed…and it varied depending on the college, and the kid.</p>
