<p>Our family is in the early stages of finding the right college for our daughter. She has Dyslexia/non-verbal learning disorder. Looking for small college where they have excellent support services. Thank you~</p>
<p>What sort of help does she need?
How much is she able to be her own advocate?
Sometimes by just taking a lighter load you can make many schools a better fit than they would be otherwise.
I dont know of any school outside of a college that is specially designed for students with learning differences that has " excellent" support services that doesn’t require students to really advocate for what they need, which many struggle with, but my kids were able to get through school by taking a little more time.</p>
<p>Can you specify a region? (it might make sense to keep her within a few hours of home) </p>
<p>Does she have a preferred major or area of study?</p>
<p>Landmark, Curry, New England College in New England. I don’t know much about other areas.</p>
<p>Thanks to all of you for replying…still trying to figure everything out.</p>
<p>Don’t let dyslexia dissuade you from pursuing any school in which your child has an interest. Obviously, you will have to check out the disabilities services at the schools; however, in general, a school with a reasonable student services group understands dyslexia and can deal with it quite effectively. </p>
<p>Anecdotal story: There was a kid in Yale law school who’s mother attended school with him and read every word to him throughout his education.</p>
<p>I’ve heard good things about Lynn University in Florida as well.</p>
<p>The more info you can provide about your daughter, the more help we can provide–region of the country, rough sense of GPA and/or how competitive a school you are looking for, what she’d like to study, interests, etc. There are schools that are not “disability” schools like Curry or Landmark that give strong support–Lesley University comes to mind.</p>
