Heres a little background. I was able to get through high school with "ok" grades. I was tested my first year of college. I was attending a university and my mother thought my "bad" grades were due to laziness. I was diagnosed with ADD and dyslexia. It explained so much. After 4 years I am 3 classes from completing my associates degree. The community college I attend have changed disablity corridinators 3 times, I have had no help, let alone really known all the things that are out there till now. My college seems not to be complying with ADA requirements. So much so that the new Disability corridinator told me I dont have a disability, that i just have to work harder at reading then some and its not a disablity.
My question is, how would you deal with this. Im almost done but after leaving the meeting in tears I was ready to quit school. HELP!
