<p>I just graduated with honors from UC Berkeley engineering and I have a disability as well. Mine is a medical condition, but because of the accommodations I got from the disabled students program (DSP), I was able to perform to my full capabilities. The DSP program here is an amazing resource here and I wouldn’t have been able to make it through Berkeley without their help. They’re very good in determining the right accommodations for their students and making sure that professors respect that. I met a couple of other students in the DSP program with learning disabilities as well and both of them have done very well with the accommodations. They (and I) were able to get extra time on the tests (one of them got 2x the exam time, and another got a time and a half).</p>
<p>What major is your son planning to go in? For me, attending Berkeley engineering with a disability was difficult, but doable with DSP accommodations. Good luck with your decision, and best wishes to you and your son in making this decision!</p>
