Neurodiverse Learners

It's important to understand how you learn. Public schools K-12 legally need to accommodate all types of learners. Those with diagnosed and documented disabilities may get extra support or accommodations and be on a 504 Plan or IEP.

Students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Discorders need to advocate for themselves in college. Support resources are available, but the student has to take the initiative to seek them out.

If you have a learning difference talk with your college counselor about whether or not you will disclose the difference during the college application process, or after you have been accepted to a given school.
