Special Considerations
Students with learning disabilities can face the challenging decision of whether to disclose their disability on college applications, which can evoke feelings of uncertainty and apprehension. This decision is crucial, as it can influence not only the application process but also the overall college experience and available resources for support.
As specialists in the field of special education, we offer comprehensive advice and guidance to help students navigate this important choice. We emphasize the benefits of disclosure, such as ensuring access to necessary accommodations and fostering a more supportive academic environment.
Our goal is to empower students with the information they need to make confident and informed decisions about their unique circumstances.
