College Planning Guide for Students With Learning Disabilities
Are you a student with a learning disability planning to attend college? If so, you may encounter some unique challenges. While access to information has improved since 2016—when a National Center for Learning Disabilities survey found that 72% of 800 parents struggled to find reliable details about college disability services—gaps still remain. As recently as 2022, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that 37% of college students chose not to disclose their learning disability to their school.
Because learning disabilities can influence the college experience in distinctive ways, both students and parents may find it difficult to identify trustworthy resources. Locating accurate information and securing the right support often requires persistence and a well-organized plan.
A comprehensive planning guide from Intelligent offers the tools you need to navigate college with a learning disability. It explains your rights, outlines potential accommodations, and highlights resources for both in-person and online learning—helping you build a solid foundation for success.
