[quote=Anonymous]Every college has an office for students with disabilities that will assess documentation and provide accommodations.

You can look on the websites of the colleges he is considering and see the requirements. You can call someone in that office and get some direction.

Requirements will not be waved. Students with disabilities have to meet the same academic requirements and standards as other students. Accommodations are just a slightly different way to get to the requirement or standard. They will not modify curriculum.

Very few colleges will accept and IEP or 504. He likely will need a psychoeducational assessment to understand his LD and where there are functional limitations that create a barrier for him.

None of this goes in with the application, at the college level it would be discriminatory in considering a disability in the acceptance or non acceptance of a student. Once he is accepted he will register with the accessibility / disability office and go from there.

Here are the links for the two you mentioned
