Although all students should be creating a college list that reflects colleges that are a good fit for them academically, socially, financially, etc., students with learning differences must consider an extra element to the list of what will be a good fit for them. College is about learning, and being in an environment where a student is supported in their education is very important. This article talks about the basics of creating a college list.
Taking it a step further, this article expands more deeply on information a student with learning differences should consider. The article is worth the time to sit and read, as it covers many important topics around what students should look for and expect from each college. I particularly appreciate their point about how students are not signing contracts at college, and if they find their college is not providing them with the support they need to thrive, they can transfer to a school that is a better fit. This is very empowering for students to remember throughout their education and beyond.
