Description
Summary:Often students, parents and high-school personnel become frustrated in their efforts to track down valid information about support services for LD students on college campuses. This article describes a process designed to help college-bound LD students select a college or university. Three major components should be explored when searching for appropriate postsecondary programs for LD students: (a) characteristics of the LD student, (b) characteristics of the institution, and (c) characteristics of the LD support program. By investigating these variables systematically, college-bound LD students will be better prepared to make an informed decision about their future educational and career goals.
