Reply to "Grades-College-Learning Disability"

I am a parent of a LD student-athelete. I am also a teacher so I get an opportunity to see this from many angels. If your son is LD then he has some form of accomodations that the college will take into account. My son is now a Freshman at a DII school. He signed early and is already getting playing time. We were very honest with the Coaches that recruited him and when the time came we were blessed with 9 choices from DI-DIII. We chose D-II because it was a smaller school that could work with him and his needs. Some of our top athelets that are professionals have some learning disorder from mild to severe. The nice thing we found was that all of the coaches and scouts listenedd and they worked with the counselors at the respective colleges. My son graduated HS with only a 3.1 but is in one of the top schools in the country. He took his work ethic on the filed and transferred it to the classroom. Thats what the college coaches saw.

Best of luck!
