Karen, Has your son spoke with the Office of Disabilities at the college? They are most helpful and can recommend avenues to pursue. If he has been legally disagnosed as having a learning disability, he can receive services of OofD and because of their efforts, his work can be modified and instructors must adhere to the guidelines/requirements set forth. Seek their help first; otherwise, the frustration you and your son feel will only exacerbate.k Mary
