The thought of college brings many questions to students with learning disabilities and their parents. Pat Barges, Highland Village, Texas .Absolutely.
Most colleges have an office of disability services.
You will find these particularly well developed at many public institutions and at community colleges, though many private colleges have them as well. While you certainly do not have to disclose a disability to admissions staff, it is always helpful to discuss grades and test scores in the context of the disability. Also, ask the admissions office to speak with a counselor from the office of disability services. That person can outline the specific services available to meet your daughter's needs. Jerry Morse, McLean, Va. .Actually, larger universities tend to have the population base to support a well-staffed disability counseling office, and these counselors often provide excellent support.
