3.
Where can I go to college?
You should not be
discouraged about college if you have a learning disability. Many
colleges offer special programs designed to accommodate for learning
disabilities.
Begin
by getting brochures sent to you from the colleges you are interested
in. Get your paperwork in order because colleges are required
to accommodate only legally documented disabilities. Check the
services the college offers. Call a college's office of disability
anonymously and ask about services in general. Ask how specific
problems might be handled. If the office seems unsure or unenthusiastic,
chances are it is a reflection of their services overall.
