[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would avoid American.  My ds is there and we chose it because it was highly ranked for helping kids with disabilities.  Wrong!  Don't give them any money![/quote]

Helping kids with disabilities = accommodations supports. What support is your child not getting?[/quote]

Professors rarely follow the accommodations.  My kid has a severe learning math disability and despite earning an AA degree  AU would not accept the substitution course for math.  My kid isn't going to be an engineer or doctor so why not let them take a substitution?   We were told the professor knew how to teach math to kids with math disabilities and there would be a tutor to help. Turns out the professor is not supportive and the tutor was a peer tutor so was never available to help.  Tutor canceled the time they made an appointment after the professor refused to give the contact information ( it took two weeks to get it)

It is like telling a person in a wheel chair you must get to your class on the 10th floor without an elevator.  Totally cruel and unnecessary.[/quote]
