Colleges for Students with Language Processing Disorder?

I'm trying to find colleges that are good for students who have a language processing disorder. Does anyone have recommendations for schools that offer great support services or programs for students with this condition?

Absolutely, the key to having a successful college experience with a language processing disorder is ample support and accommodations, which can be made available through university disability services offices.

1. University of Arizona: They host the SALT Center (Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques), one of the most comprehensive academic support programs for students with learning disabilities and ADHD. They offer individualized educational planning, tutoring, and weekly meetings with strategists, among other benefits.

2. Curry College: This college offers the PAL (Program for Advancement of Learning), designed especially for students with learning differences like language processing disorders. Support here includes one-on-one tutoring and a variety of classes to enhance academic skills.

3. University of Denver: They host the Learning Effectiveness Program (LEP) offering academic counseling, individualized academic support, and seminars focusing on academic skills.

4. Lynn University: Their Institute for Achievement and Learning offers various levels of personalized instruction. They also offer an iPad initiative, helping students to stay organized.

Remember, it is crucial to take into account your academic interests and career goals when picking a college, not simply the available support services. Review each university's specific offerings, consult with academic advisors, and visit the campus (if possible) to get a sense of whether it's the right fit for you beyond its support programs. Be sure to proactively communicate with your school's disability services office to ensure you receive all necessary accommodations. Best of luck in your college search!
