Start Your Research
Have you done any research on this question? We can help you get started, but you need to answer some questions first.
- What is the nature of your child’s learning disabilities?
- When will they graduate from high school?
- Do they want to go to college?
- What are their interests?
- Are you looking for a college in your state (in-state tuition)?
Start on the Wrightslaw College – Continuing and Higher Education page here – http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/college.index.htm
This page has links to articles, videos, podcasts, directories of colleges with programs for kids with learning disabilities, and helpful information.
Involve Your Child in Planning
Your child needs to be involved in the planning and research.
Take a look at this video.
From Where I Sit is a powerful video series of eight CSU students with disabilities who share their experiences in the college classroom.
