Is online college easier now?

Also, the proportion of students with ADHD today is massive, so I think that an in person school may be better for him. You get the real experience, and from my own perspective, people without ADHD like myself get to learn from students with ADHD, and plus in all the other non academic activities I could never tell which ones had it or not.

I’ve asked at our local community college if they offer accommodations for students like my son and they said that they do.  Of course, those accommodations will be decided between the school and the student (since he will be over 18 by then).  

I know that there are things that have deadlines in life, but there’s also some flexibility depending on the specifics.  For example, I create my own deadlines.  It’s all flexible as long as it’s all done by July 15th for the school year.  I am sure he will get there at some point, but students with disabilities with executive functioning are usually provided some accommodations through a 504 plan or IEP depending on the student’s needs.  Unfortunately, he chose the one school in the area that won’t.  

We had a good chat today and I think he’s starting to get some ideas of what he might want to do.  It’s possible a smaller classload and clear deadlines will be helpful for him.
