Website with Stats

<p>A few weeks ago I saw a website that had college info, and it included the number of people with LDs, Asperger's, etc. in their stats. Of course now that I need the site, I can't find the name of it or a link to it anywhere.</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? lol And if so, could you please post the link to the site? I'm pretty sure I got it on this website. Thanks!</p>

<p>I just want to note that a college’s official percentage of students with disabilities is the lowest possible estimate as some students don’t disclose their diagnosed disability to the college and even more likely (the largest group) is those students who are not officially diagnosed because they never got formally tested, yet who do have a disability.</p>

<p>This last scenario was exactly my case. I have a significant LD caused by cerebral palsy. While I knew that I had physical limitations from my cerebral palsy (although I never mentioned even that to colleges during (or after) admission), my LD was not officially diagnosed. I always had certain difficulties in school, yet attributed them to individual variation and just not being born the smartest person in the world. I only got formally tested for LD for the first time towards the end of my sophomore year of college when college work simply became unbearable. My testing revealed a very uneven cognitive profile with very strong and very weak sides. And only after the testing, reading about it all online, (and getting a brain MRI for the first time in my life), I read that my cognitive profile is typical for people with my type of CP and brain damage and is totally caused by it. Everything suddenly made sense and the info explained everything I’ve been struggling with in life.</p>

<p>I know I got carried away talking about myself, but my point is that there is a number of students entering college who have an LD yet are not officially diagnosed with it and so the college’s LD statistic is likely to underestimate the percentage of LD students.</p>
