@ucbalumnus thanks for responding. I wondered if there was a way to learn computer science without going through the whole “college” thing. He is very motivated to learn what he wants to learn, and is already programming on his own. I just don’t know if he will have the same motivation to get through all the other required courses that a college would require.
Learning is harder for him with his brain injury, and after 18 months, is still having headaches and brain fog.
