Deciding whether or not to go to college can be a difficult decision for
our teens. If your child DOES decide to attend, the problem becomes
choosing the "best fit". Given that an overwhelming number of students
with learning disabilities never complete college, the choice of school
is that much more critical.
If you have an older child without learning differences attending
college, you may think, "Oh, I've been through this process before."
Wrong! Forget that experience; things will be much more complex with
your present child. Kids with LD are at such risk that selecting a
school becomes an intricate process of lengthy research, then
investigation, followed by whittling down based on specific questions.
The match has to be as close to perfect as possible to maximize the
chances of success. I know - I've been there and come out the other
side--successfully.
