2. Texas A&M University: Texas A&M's Disability Services provides academic accommodations, access to adaptive equipment, and support services such as sign language interpreters and note-taking assistance.

3. University of Connecticut: UConn's Center for Students with Disabilities offers academic accommodations, course substitutions, specialized equipment, and housing options tailored to students with disabilities.

4. Landmark College: This college specializes in serving students with learning disabilities and attention disorders, by providing them with unique curricular and extracurricular programs designed to address their needs.

5. Beacon College: Beacon College exclusively serves students with learning disabilities and attention disorders and offers a range of services and resources, including a 3-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, individualized education plans, and daily access to support from faculty and staff.
