[quote=Anonymous]Kids with LDs and ADHD can be found at every college, even elite ones. Most (possibly all) schools have an office of student disabilities and will offer accommodations and supports. The challenge is finding a good fit. Look at the environment he excels in and identify colleges that offer similar. If he does best in small classes, look for a school known for small class sizes (in MD, this would be St Mary’s vs UMD/UMBC/Towson). Smaller colleges will also offer him the opportunity to know his professors which can make a huge difference. I agree with others that his social skills may be a real asset in the business field. So look for small colleges that offer a business major (sadly St Mary’s does not). My ADHD DD chose to study business at UMD. She is very shy and socially the big school has been difficult so I wish she’d gone somewhere smaller. But academically her ADHD hasn’t been an issue and they’ve worked to provide her needed accommodations. [/quote]
