My son was diagnosed after his freshman year in college. Not till after he failed a class and after he lost his baseball scholarship. he was tested and was reading at the 4th grade level. We have the same horror stories as everyone else. I'm dyslexic, so we have been telling his teachers since 4th grade that he may be also, but of course got the same, he's lazy and just needs to apply himself. Our problem is that his dream is to play college and pro baseball, but can't stay eligible to play with his grades. He is 22 now and at his third community college. He is supposed to receive 13 provisions, such as a proofreader, no timed tests and no tests on scantron cards, but so far every school has ignored those. Is there any way to force a college to get him the help he needs? Are there any scholarships available to him?
