[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids both have ADHD. When I first looked into this some of the recommended schools with more robust supports included Hofstra, American U, Marist, U of Denver, U of Conn.

But, DS ended up improving a lot in the last year+ of HS and is now doing well at VT. For a CS-adjacent major, [b]look at Computational Modeling & Data Analytics at VT. It has a pretty high acceptance rate, just need to really like math[/b]. It's in the college of science, not engineering so I think tends to be overlooked. They admit only about 100 students per year and I like that it's a smaller program. DS has not taken advantage of any student support services at VT but they do exist.

DD had a lot more ADHD/EF struggles in the latter part of HS and ended up going to a small LAC where it is easier to access support. Early days still (she's a freshman) but she is already finding it easier to manage than in HS since she [b]doesn't have to be "on" in a big, crowded school for 6+ hours straight.[/b] [/quote]

Thanks! We will check that out.  DS does reasonably well in math and is doing AP stats this year so he gets a feel for the gateway course into analytics.

DS rejected some of the small school environments that we toured (e.g. Bucknell). He does like groups and a large school environment and I'm hoping he self-corrects during senior year as your DS did.[/quote]
