Welcome! In addition to Platypus's wise advice, I will suggest another category of reading difficulty. It may be that your DC has sufficient phonological processing to decode (hence the strong scores in phonetic decoding and word calling), but lack

My point is that if your goal is to reduce healthcare costs, simply doing away with the bachelors degree requirements for MDs will not have a meaningful impact. My husband made it through 4 years of undergrad with zero debt, but we have a wagon load

First off, we have not done this. But I do have some thoughts: What were the contraindications for stimulants? Were they expected to have low therapeutic effectiveness, or to have serious side effects? There's a big difference between those two r

Does anyone have any experience with genetic testing for ADHD meds, and/or have any opinions on its reliability? My DS12 has ADHD Inattentive Type. To try and avoid medication trial and error, we had gene testing done early last year. Results showed

JCKDW, thank you for sharing. It's good to hear from others with similar experience. And now that I think about it, I know a family with at least three gifted children, and the most gifted of them is also their most chill. I agree with you that we sh

I think your thread may have gotten lost in the "new poster hold", so I will get the ball rolling here. I start by saying your real-life observations are all common things to see with dyslexia, and had me (with a dyslexic DD) nodding familiarly al

Another point of evidence: I understand that med schools simply do not care about those parts of their applicants education at all, basing admittance on a recalculated GPA excluding non STEM subjects and on MCAT results. So, 2 years worth of classe

With the differences in health systems around the world, I doubt that you could make a meaningful regression analysis about whether the two years‘ worth of classes required by gen Ed’s or distribution requirements or core classes or non-STEM majors t

The problem is that as freshmen, their plans and preferences are likely to undergo many changes. Choice of undergrad will be significantly impacted by intentions regarding a terminal degree. One of the issue is that they are expected to reach 60 cr

Yeah, those are all the advantages that we are contemplating. One concern is whether they CAN matriculate as freshmen if it is otherwise more desirable to do so, such as scholarship eligibility and admissions. I suppose that question might have diff

Color me cynical as well - it's all about the money! For the record, I am vehemently against eliminating college credit for AP. Of course, if I am trying to support their point of view, here are my observations: Too many lower ability/achievement
