What are options for a learning disabled 17 year old to complete high school? My son has learning disabilities and has not thrived in the usual high school environment. I tried online virtual high school with the same results, too difficult for him. There has to be an alternative for him to complete high school. He did not pass 10th grade last year because of the pressure to do well in general education classes. I did have him enrolled in the local high school where they updated his IEP but he still did not pass, the virtual high school does not have a way to monitor IEPs so that is not an option. I would like him to be motivated to do his learning not ashamed of his disability while in a general education class, he is shy and does not have enough self-esteem or self-confidence to ask questions during class. This makes it difficult for him and I am frustrated. I would love to do home schooling but it can be expensive and not an option either. He has below 10th grade level reading and writing skills and this is a challenge for him.
