No... not so...

You need to speak to the Dean of Students... at any college or university...
you have to apply to the school but you need a special accommodations letter
to follow from your testing doctor or your "High School Child Studies
Team"... proof you have the disability, and proof you have a history of the
disability...

You can not take SAT's or GRE's... the scores will not and do not show your
abilities... they didn't in my case... But you have to jump the standardized
hoops... Talk to the department Chair at the school you want to attend...
they will give you advice as to how to apply to that school with your
disability...

Will power and keeping focus on your goal...
smiles from someone who knows all to well.

Hi Matt

I agree with everything Nan has said.

I too am dyslexic and have dyscalculia, I have struggled for too many
years with my maths. Then when I had my daughter, and found she had the
same problems I swore she would never go through what I had to go
through.

After years of searching, and trying many products, we have finally
found this:

http://www.maths2xl.co.uk/index.html

I don't know if it will help, but all I can say is that since we started
it (I'm learning with daughter!) we have both began to understand and
retain all the maths we thought was totally IMPOSSIBLE.

Maths2XL is for the British system, but I think it was set up originally
in New Zealand. There are some free lessons on-line, give them a try.
So many dyslexics learn differently. Perhaps there is something similar
in the US.

I really do hope you find something, I know exactly how you feel and how
frustrating it can be. Keep searching on the internet, I found a great
support group and they told me about this. There are people out there
that can help you, it is just finding them that can take the time.

Good luck :)
