[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc has high stats and is very bright, but also has ADHD. Are there any good colleges that are better known for providing support to kids like this than others?[/quote]

We feel your pain as have same challenges on the horizon with younger GTLD  teen.

Our older extremely GTLD DC attended a UC with excellent supports. The student support office was terrific, as was the medical services center for students. However, the UCs are much harder to get in from out of state now,

The list of competitive colleges with good student support services by PP above is worth checking out. Add U Arizona which reportedly has the largest student learning support center in the country.

Locally, among less competitive but solid universities with good learning supports, it is worth checking out George Mason.

I would also consider liberal arts colleges (liberal arts refers to only having undergraduate students not to only providing humanities majors). Many are very strong in STEM education, have smaller class sizes, and specialize in meeting the needs of undergraduates. For example, we are looking at St Mary’s College in south Maryland, a public liberal arts college.

Here is a list by Petersons of good colleges that support students with LDs.

One last thing - very few students outgrow ADHD by the end of high school. The human brain does not finish maturing until mid twenties and many adults have to take steps to manage their ADHD as well. It is wise of you to consider universities and colleges that are more likely to support your child’s tertiary education journey.

Please report back regarding what colleges made your final list as being good options.
 
Good luck! [/quote]
