Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to declare LD status when entering university first year. There are a number of benefits to this, such as increased scholarships and increased time for testing, but there are also a number of risks, such as the potential for bias on my med school application.
I have strong documentation concerning my LD status, so it won't be a problem. By the way, my LD is related to slow reading speeds. My educational psychologist determined that I had a VERY low processing speed, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
