What About Learning Disabilities?

Image via Wikipedia

Most often the students who are labeled with a learning disability have the same styles as people like Einstein and other well-known inventors, scientists, musicians, artists, actors, athletes, and entrepreneurs.

In many cases, college can get in the way of success for these students. In other cases, they find that college can be very different from high school and they take off. Again, the most important thing is to show these students evidence of their intelligence, their talents, and their skills, so that they will be confident about their abilities and make choices that are right for them.

We hope that these thoughts we've shared with you in this series of articles give you a different perspective about college and encourage you to leave the decision about whether to go or not to go up to your children, while providing a "safe" and open forum for discussion, answering their questions, and guiding them to research their options.
