Colleges for Students with Learning Disabilities

ADD and ADHD qualifies your student for services provided by the Disability Act.  Qualified testing is required to prevent all students from claiming to be ADD.  See the Disability Office at the school your child will be attending for information on how to apply for services.

Students with ADD/ADHD can actually hit their stride in a college atmosphere.  They are not sitting in classes all day, every day.  They move around more in between classes.  They can space their classes with breaks through out the day.

The student can drop classes taught by professors with a teaching style that does not work for them.  Then they can take the same course taught by a different professor.  Or they can take the course at a community college or a university in their home town during the summer months.  There are more options.

There is a guide available at book stores and on Amazon: Petersons Colleges for Students with Learning Disabilities.  If your student has ADD/ADHD use this book as your bible.  If there is no program that supports students with learning disabilities, do not apply there.

You have too many choices for schools with supportive services.  Set your student up for Success.  College is a financial investment and a personal investment.
