<p>Hi everyone! I'm just wondering if any of you know how this works at Tufts. I've read on the website that it can be arranged, but does anyone actually know anybody who goes (or used to go) to Tufts that has a learning disability and is getting accommodations? Is this a difficult thing to do at Tufts? Are people looked down on for having this problem? I'm also wondering how this might effect grad school/ law school applications. Any kind of information you could give me would be very helpful. I don't have ADD but I do have a very serious visual problem that cannot be corrected with eyewear (like glasses or contacts) so it just slows my reading to over 4X slower than an average person. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>While I can't answer the question specifically, I can point you in the right direction. Dowling Hall houses all of the academic advisors, deans, and the tutoring center. If you head over to the main registration area, they can probably point you in the right direction. Either that, or head over to the peer tutoring/academic aid center, and they'll (hopefully) ba able to help.</p>
<p>I dont go to tufts, nor am I even in college, but I do know a lot about getting help with learning disabilities in college. This should answer all your questions <a href="http://www.studentservices.tufts.edu/DisabilityServices/%5B/url%5D">http://www.studentservices.tufts.edu/DisabilityServices/</a> They will probably require that u undergoe a bit of testing but its all worth it in the end. LD support has played a big role in my college admissions process so I have become very knowledgable on the topic. Let me know if u have anymore questions. btw, sounds like u have dyslexia, so u qualify.</p>
<p>Also, I recieve books on tape from my counsler in HS, and sometimes on rare occasions textbooks too, its very helpful.</p>
