<p>It would be great if some people could comment on the schools that have a great disability service. I was also wondering if there were any top schools/high reputations which had good disability services.</p>
<p>It would be great if someone could help me out!</p>
<p>We are searching for the same thing, although with particular help for anxiety and depression too. Landmark is a college in VT that is especially for students with LD/ADD and most students transfer after two years to other schools. Brown is the only Ivy Leagues that I know of with good services, but I don’t think it’s a very structured kind of support – so it depends on what you “have”. Rutgers, UConn, Eckhard, Earlham and Beloit are good, I believe, but I don’t know the extent of their services. There are a few dozen schools (Lynn, U of Arizona) that have programs specifically for LD students. Some you pay extra to be in but you get more support. You might have to be more specific when you are talking about disability – the services would be very, very different depending on whether you may be blind, have dyslexia, or have schizophrenia…</p>
<p>Not knowing your specific case, I can offer a few general suggestions. </p>
<p>1)First, you need to decide the level of service you need in a college. The his a huge variety of options including LD colleges, colleges with special LD programs (ex. SALT at U of Arizona, CAP at Iona College but there are many others), to schools with good tutoring programs which everyone can use (ex. Quinnipiac U), PLUS EVERY COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY must have an office of Disability Services and can accommodate things like extra time on exams etc. Most of them are very good. Talk to your teachers, your guidance counselor, get re-tested if necessary — do whatever you can to figure out what type of accommodations you need in college. Be honest with yourself.</p>
<p>2) There are specific guide books out there for LD students (ex. K&W guide). Invest in one or get one from the library or your guidance department and start reading. This can help you learn more about the different types of colleges/programs available and can help you to find some college ideas. None of these books will list every option for a LD student, but it can be a good start.</p>
<p>3)Visit schools you are interested in. Call the Office of Disability Services in advance and arrange to meet with them so you can insure your needs can be met at that particular college or university.</p>
