I need to do SOMETHING for my oldest. I just don’t know what that something is.
What do you do when you realize, a month and a half before graduation, that your child is differently-abled learner? Actually, I’ve always know he was a gifted visual-spatial learner because he was tested when he was still in public school. What I didn’t know is that this is the reason he struggles with higher level reasoning. The kind of reasoning most need to have in order to succeed in college.
I’m frustrated because everything I’m reading on the internet and the books I can find on Amazon are all geared towards elementary students. I have an 18yo, with self-esteem that’s taken a beating over the years trying to keep up with his sister, who will be headed off to college in January. Should he start college? Should we take another semester at home and see if we can work through some of the issues? Since he’ll be at home next semester maybe he can do college and learn new strategies for studying at the same time.
