It's wonderful that you're considering a college that will provide the support you need as a student with dyslexia. While many colleges offer support for students with learning differences, there are a few that stand out for their specialized programs and resources.

1. Landmark College: This college in Vermont is dedicated specifically to supporting students with learning differences, including dyslexia. It offers associate and bachelor's degree programs, along with a strong focus on tailored academic support.

2. University of Arizona: They have the Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center, which is one of the nation's leading support programs for students with learning and attention challenges. They offer a range of academic support services, including tutoring tailored to students with dyslexia.

3. Curry College: Located in Massachusetts, Curry College is known for its Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL), which serves students with learning differences. PAL provides support through special course sections, individualized coaching, and tutoring.

4. Lynn University: This Florida-based school has a specialized program called the Institute for Achievement and Learning (IAL), which offers tailored services like individualized assignments, academic coaching, and small group instruction for students with learning differences, including dyslexia.
