It used to be a common belief that students with learning difficulties would not be able to excel at college. However, colleges such as Landmark College (a college exclusively for those with learning disabilities) aim to break these barriers. These schools are geared towards educating students with learning disorders in a way that is suitable for them.

Students with LDs, which also are referred to as “invisible disabilities,” are finding that college is within reach. More schools are providing better services to students with conditions ranging from ADHD to Autism Spectrum Disorders to target a growing market.

Alternative colleges help those with learning disorders get a college degree.

It is important for any person to find a college that is the right fit for them, but it is even more so important for people with learning disorders. About 67% of students with learning difficulties enroll in a higher education program, but only 21% pursue a four year college degree and only 41% graduate from the program. This could be because those schools are not required to provide modified classes for students with learning difficulties. Alternative colleges for those with learning difficulties can break these barriers and bridge the gap.

Key Takeaways:

1
There are colleges, such as Landmark College, that are exclusively for students with learning disabilities.
2
Learning disabilities don’t mean that a person is ‘dumb’, but rather that the student hasn’t been taught the right way and colleges such as Landmark help students learn in a way suited for them.
3
Approximately 67% of students with learning disabilities enroll in some type of post-secondary schooling but only about 21% of those graduates because the curriculum isn’t geared towards them.
