Question
I am looking for colleges for my daughter who has ADHD and a vaguely identified processing disorder. She has average intelligence, was an honor roll student until 11th grade and now needs a tremendous amount of help keeping up with the work load in high school. I would like her to have a typical college experience away from home.  Is there such a school?

Answer
There are many schools that offer excellent programs for students with learning disabilities.  I have a website www.collegedirection.org that has a page dedicated to learning disabilities as well as a page of college resources with a website dedicated to learning disabilities.  You might take a look at these for some suggestions.
