I am currently a senior in high school and have cerebral palsey and struggle in math/organization. I have taken some honors classes but mostly college prep with a gpa of 3.0. I am looking at some colleges with support programs such as Lynn, Marist and McDaniel all that have additional fees. The other colleges are Saint Leo, High Point, Stetson, and Roger Williams. Does anyone have any first hand experience on how these colleges are for students with disabilties?
Try Landmark College: Fully accredited college in Vermont exclusively for students with dyslexia, ADD or specific learning disabilities.
Sounds like you would do fine within the general college population. Lots of schools will have disabilities support programs. What is your home state?
My home state is CT but I would like to venture outside my state. I am not a fan of the cold weather and I would like the campus to have easy access to transportation for holidays (shuttles to airports) since I am unable to get my drivers license due to vision loss in one eye and field loss in the other. I don’t want a suitcase school since I want to have a college experience and get involved in activities.
Try the colleges that change lives website-- my DD liked the West coast options, but didn’t consider East coast schools. Also every year seems to have colleges for B students threads in the parents section of college confidential. I believe U Conn has extra support program that is well liked, although doesn’t get you a change of weather. DD loves the Tucson weather at University of Arizona and the SALT program, but that seems a long way to go.
You might search the Maryland schools on CC-- I believe there were some support programs, and better weather. Good luck
Thank you for your suggestions. My parents want me on the east coast and I don’t want to big of a school I will look into colleges in Maryland.
I realize the weather is not warmer but Curry College in Milton, MA or Mitchell College in New London both are supposed to have good support programs.
