By Shazah Sabuhi, NCLD Intern & NCLD Editorial Staff

special-needs-stories-knowledge-puzzle-pieceWhether you’re applying to a two- or four-year college, there are many important factors to consider. Use the following checklist to help you determine which college will best meet your individual needs, keeping in mind the level of support your learning disability requires.

The checklist covers topics such as:

  • Questions you need to ask about a college’s specialized program or disability support services for students with LD
  • Understanding what documentation of your LD will be required
  • Investigating the types of general academic and career-planning services that are available to all students
  • Evaluating the social and logistical issues that are important to you

You’re likely to be researching more than one college, so use a copy of the form for each college you consider.
