Can anyone recommend a college for Students with learning disabilitiies?

Answer 1

If you live in the US, all schools are required by law (Americans with Disabilities Act) to provide all reasonable assistance to students with any kind of disability.... and that includes learning disabilities.

Choose the school you want and ask if they have an office that deals with disabilities issues. The student would need to sign up with them and find out what kind of documentation they would need about their disability. They will provide any reasonable accommodation.... such as more time for exams.... someone to help take notes.... etc.

If the school does not have a program in place... and you are in the U.S., just mention those four little words: Americans with Disabilities Act. I imagine they would find a way to help you.

Answer 2

Since the American Disabilities Act, all colleges have a Special Services department/unit, which helps students with learning disabilities. You have special needs and these are legally protected. These can include: a notetaker, extended time for test taking, a separate room for tests, etc. Bring your documentation, and meet with an advisor to see what accomodations can be made to meet your needs.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

I am 47 years old and I have a learning disability.There was no help in my time.My local community college in 1979 told me they do not want people with LD on their campus.I was taking a reading improvement class and
had some trouble.When I said I was LD,the teacher requested I drop her class and I had no right being on
a community college campus.I have dealt with prejudice
because of LD.
I am amazed things have come a long way with LD kids.
I have heard of Muskingum College in New Concord Ohio
has a program for LD.

Answer 4

I go to Westminster College in Fulton, MO. They have special classes for people with learning disabilities. They also have small class sizes, and the professors are willing to help.

Answer 5

here is a site that you should read

http://www.ldam.org/university/index.html
http://www.ldam.org/pdf/decisionworksheet_rgoldberg.pdf

According to these two sites you should be able to choose any College or University. You just have to know how to ask for the help you need for your disability.

I pray this helps you.

Hi--if your child is currently enrolled in high school make sure they have an IEP on them. That way they would get special commendations ex. more time for test taking, tutor help etc.
good luck
