<p>My son has ADD and NVLD. He is at boarding school now but I fear university life would be a disaster without proper support for his disabilities, where can I find strong business school with support for Add/LD kids?</p>
<p>Landmark College. Tagline: “The college of choice for students with ADHD, ASD and/or other learning disabilities.” I think it may be expensive, and I’m not sure it’s a four-year institution, but I’ve heard good things about the strategies it gives people to cope with “regular” school. (The only person I know who spent any time there struggled through her first year at UT-Austin, transferred to Landmark for either a year or two, then transferred back and did much better. She was a couple years ahead of me in high school.) This list may also help.

<p>First, you need to determine the level of support you feel your son needs. Some colleges are specifically geared for kids with LD (ex. Landmark College or the Threshold program at Lesley College), others have special support programs within a mainstream college (ex. U of AZ and I think Marist College), and virtually every school has a LD Office where kids can take tests with extra time etc. If at all possible, I would visit schools with your son and talk to the people running the LD program before making a final choice. Not knowing GPA/test scores/location, it is hard to make specific college suggestions (but the list on the link above looks like a good start). Maybe also look at this or a similar book to read up on the options.<br>

<p>I would also make appointments to talk to your son’s teachers/guidance counselor/LD specialist at the boarding school and get their assessment of what would be the right type of college environment for your son and how much support they feel he will need going forward.</p>
<p>Can’t say how strong the support is but the following schools have at least 10% of students registered with the disability office and 10% of their degrees in business. It could be a place to start looking.</p>
