Information for Students with Learning Disabilities

Information for Students with learning Differences

Students with identified learning differences may want to investigate the programs and services that are specifically designed to meet their post-secondary educational needs.  Within many colleges there are special support services necessary for the student to succeed in classes. These programs also frequently provide non-credit courses which help the student identify her or his learning style and develop appropriate compensatory skills.  Students with documented learning differences may request appropriate modifications such as extended testing time, taping of lectures and may take advantage of advances in technology to assist with reading, writing and taking notes. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/index.html) provides excellent information on this process.  There are also several excellent guide books and websites that can help inform and focus your college search  (K & W Guide to Colleges For Students With Learning Disabilities or AD/HD)

Should I disclose my disability on my application?

This is a personal decision.  Your college will have no knowledge of your disability if you choose not to disclose this information.  Even if you have an IEP, or received extended time on the SAT or ACT, information about disability is not included on your high school transcript or test results.
However, many students do choose to disclose their learning disability in their application for admission.  This is often done through the “additional information” section or through a student’s essay. Disclosing a disability helps colleges admission personnel better understand the context surrounding an applicant's grades and test scores.
