Speed Reading Course

Community College and Learning disabilities.?

Do you think some kids with LD sould not even go
to a community college? In 1979 I tried to go to
Columbus State Community College and took remedial courses in reading and math.I had trouble
and when I disclosed I had LD,The instructor told
me to withdraw from her class and drop out of CSCC. Said I had no right coming to CSCC.
I told higher up about what happened,I was told
it was the college’s policy to discourage LD from
attending CSCC. They never will be able to do
college level work let alone have a real job.
I will never give that place my business again.
I was in sped all through school and no one ever
taught me how to read well,do math,study for tests
etc. Why do I blame myself? It is not my fault I had
LD. Do you think I had the right to take the remedial
reading class?

Since the adoption of IDEA (Individual with Disabilities Education Act) a college or university must allow you to have the same modifications and accommodations that were allowed on your IEP, no matter how long ago it was.

Things have changed since 1979 and hopefully we are a lot more enlightened now. IDEA was passed in 1975 but Iam sure that colleges and universities were the last ones to implement it. Now every community college and university must have an office that assists students with learning disabilities.

My suggestion is to take any paperwork that you still have and go to a community college for advisement. You cannot be denied entrance to a community college and you may actually be able to get some assistance from their special needs office. I don’t know what that is called at your CC, that is why I suggest you go for advisement.

You write well and that shows that you can learn to read well given some strategies to use. No, it is not your fault that you have LD.

There are many high paying jobs that do not require perfect reading. Since most repair and technical jobs are paying more money than some jobs that require a college degree, you might want to check out what is available at your school district’s tech schools. My plumber makes $120.00 per hour which is a heck of a lot more than I make!
