College Programs for Students with Disabilities?

I have a learning disability and I'm trying to find colleges that offer strong programs/support for students with disabilities. Can anyone recommend schools that are known for the support they provide?

It's definitely important to find a college that offers a supportive environment for students with disabilities. Many schools have offices dedicated to providing accommodations and resources for students with learning disabilities and other disabilities, but some colleges stand out for the level of support they provide. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Landmark College: Landmark is specifically designed for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and ASD. Its highly personalized curriculum and student support services are tailored to help students with disabilities succeed academically.

2. Beacon College: Beacon is another accredited institution specifically catering to students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and ASD. It offers several bachelor's degree programs and provides a tailored curriculum and comprehensive support services.

3. University of Arizona: Their Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center is nationally recognized for its comprehensive support services for students with learning and attention disabilities. The SALT Center offers one-on-one academic support, success coaching, and personalized learning plans.

4. Lynn University: Lynn University is known for its well-established Institute for Learning Differences, which offers a range of academic support services, including individualized learning plans, progress monitoring, and tutoring.

5. DePaul University: DePaul's Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) offers a variety of support services to help students with disabilities succeed, including academic coaching, assistance with assistive technology, and accommodations coordination in collaboration with faculty.

6. Marist College: The Learning Disabilities Support Program (LDSP) at Marist offers comprehensive assistance to students with learning disabilities, including individualized academic support, tutoring, skill-building workshops, and access to accommodations.

Before applying to these colleges or others, I recommend visiting their websites and contacting their disability services offices to learn more about the specific accommodations and resources they offer for your particular disability. Additionally, you can inquire about open houses or campus visits tailored for students with disabilities to get a better understanding of the support available at each institution. Support for students with disabilities varies by college, so it's crucial to choose one that can cater to your specific needs.

Best of luck with your college search!
