Ask about George Mason, Townson and UMBC. I’ve heard UMBC was supportive but my info goes back a few years. I also seem to remember Mason being supportive.

Does your son have a 504 or IEP? They might be helpful in getting any accommodations at colleges. The IEP doesn’t work the same way in college but a student who comes in with one usually has a leg up when the college determines they may need support.

Even though they’re private, I will add a school or two because they impressed me when I was looking: Rochester Institute of Technology in NY and Lynn University in FL. [/quote]

UMBC doesn’t offer any support that I’m aware of, and you need good grades and scores to get in and stay in. It doesn’t get much love on DCUM or in rankings because it’s academically tough and socially boring. Someone suggested McDaniel which is good suggestion. Know two of my kids classmates who go there, both have special needs. 
Have a friend who has a son with anxiety and avg grades and needed support, and a big mistake she did was sending him far away, she claims. 
Also the community college suggestion is a good too. [/quote]

I suspect you just aren't aware of what they offer and, frankly, neither am I but.... UMBC was a recommendation from the neuropsychologist who did my son's pre-college testing. She said she was very impressed with the support they provided a few IEP students who had gone there and recommended I contact the disability office. I did not because my son's major is not strong at UMBC.
