There are no accommodations in the military but the structure of the
military has been a real asset for some LD and AD/HD students I have
known  They do have to pass the ASVAB test with certain scores.  I have
some power points from a project I was involved in for the State of
Illinois on the transition from high school.  I would be glad to share
if you would like them.

Re:  "...how teachers can help students participate in the transition
planning process. Since it all centers on students¹ vision of their
future,
before the meeting they should be guided through a series of
conversations
about post-school
outcomes, what they would like their life to look like once they leave
high
school. These discussions should help them prepare to answer questions
that
will arise in the meeting, such as in what setting and with whom they
would
like to live, what they would like to do with their free time, how
they
envision themselves participating in community life, the kind of job
they
would like to have, whether they would like to continue their studies,
and
about other similar long-term aspirations."

Arlyn, how would you help a student who wants to enter the military to
transition?  Are there specific requirements that LD students need to
consider (other than passing the physical)?  Does the military even
accept
LD students?  Are there accommodations in the military?
