Colleges are by law required to offer "appropriate academic adjustments" for students with disabilities. Support services for LD kids, however, can vary tremendously from college to college.
Before visiting a college, do research about available LD support and set up an appointment with the learning center.
Questions:
1. Is there an LD Center?
2. What LD services and accommodations are offered?
3. Additional fees associated with these services?
4. Is there a general academic support center?
5. Are tutors peers or specialists?
6. What LD documentation is required? When and how is this info submitted?
7. Will the student need to update her/his LD documentation?
8. What kind of information should be submitted about the student's LD on the application?
9. How does a learning disability factor into the admission decision?
