Navigating the maze - What makes a good college for high school students with Learning Differences (LD)?
All colleges in the US are required to have a disabilities office, which helps accommodate students with different needs. While disability offices can be helpful for logistical concerns, some students need a more supportive structure in place to make them feel comfortable.
Now that we have your attention we are hosting a free webinar on Overseas College education exclusively for High School students with LD. Appreciate if you can join us using this link below.
Many universities go above and beyond what is required of them when it comes to supporting students with LD. They offer an array of supportive programs, and these offices are often operated by learning specialists who are trained in working with students with different needs.
What kind of supportive services, programs, and procedures can a student expect?
Supportive Services can include the following:
• Weekly meetings with a counselor
• Reduced course load
• Extra tutoring support
• Special curricula
• On-campus learning specialists
• Individual meetings with educators
- Transitional summer programs
• Specialty workshops
Some colleges offer very high levels of structure and support, whereas others only offer more basic support to students with LD. It might be helpful to think about how much support is ideal for you before you begin your college search.
Think you'd benefit from a supportive program meant for students with learning disabilities?
