Colleges Suitable for Kids with Learning Disabilities?

I have a learning disability and I'm trying to compile a list of colleges that are known for accommodating and supporting students like me. Has anyone here who has a learning disability had a good experience with their college?

Absolutely, many colleges are committed to supporting students with learning disabilities.

For instance, the University of Arizona has a program called the Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center, which provides tutoring, educational planning, and various types of academic support for students with learning and attention challenges. The SALT Center is recognized nationally for its commitment to students with learning disabilities.

Another school, Curry College in Massachusetts, has a program called the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL). This program provides a comprehensive approach to learning support for students with ADHD and other learning disabilities.

Beacon College in Florida is an exceptional institution as well; it's among the first accredited colleges exclusively designed to award Bachelor's degrees to students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and dyslexia.

However, it's important to note that almost all colleges will have some kind of Office of Disability Services, which may provide things like extra test-taking time, distraction-free environments for exams, and note-taking aids.

Make sure to reach out to the student disability services office of any college you're interested in to find out more about the support they offer. Remember that while these colleges have specific programs, you should also consider overall fit: the school's location, size, academic programs, etc. You want to make sure you'll be comfortable and happy at the school overall, in addition to having your learning needs met.
