The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #19:

My daughter has a math-related LD. Her grades in Algebra and Geometry have been C & D. Should she take Trigonometry in her senior year ?

Answer #19:

There is absolutely no need for your daughter to take Trigonometry unless she is planning to apply to MIT. In fact, her college application should discuss her math-related LD and show how far she went despite the learning difficulties. Many, many colleges offer support programs for students with learning differences. When you are researching schools, ask to speak with the Learning Services Coordinator and find out whatever details you need to learn about the program. If this process sounds too daunting for you, find an educational consultant with experience in placing LD students. You could also use the EDUFAX services for the LD Student.
