<p>All of the GOOD schools (virtually none of which is on the list in post #27) offer disability services. And depending on the student, the “regular” disability services/accom (ie: no special program, so not in the Fiske Guide) might be enough.</p>
<p>D1 (ADD-Inattentive) is currently a senior at a top 20 LAC; she needed very little in terms of services/accom, but she also took advantage of only a fraction of the services/accom available through the disability office. This would likely have been the case at any of the schools on her list b/c we but a lot of effort into the list itself - -primarily checking catlogues for distrib reqs and gened, since D’s skill set is not evenly developed (foreign lang is a particular weakness). Despite a stated pref for war weather, D1’s list was heavy on MA and CT schools b/c they tend to have far fewer reqs than southern schools. </p>
<p>Embroidery4, if you are worried about S’s ACT score, I would suggest you look at the Fairtest list of test optional schools. But be careful, while some schools on the list do not require ANY standardized test scores, others schools will want AP scores instead of ACT/SAT scores or they are test optional only with a certain gpa or rank.</p>
<p>I would also advise checking the catalogue if your S has some academic weaknesses. My fear with D was not so much her getting in - - but getting out of (graduating from) a school with a lot of lang, math or sci reqs (in the end D took 1 yr of bio w/ lab, no foreign lang and a one semester “fun” math class that probab wouldn’t have satisfied any school’s math req). </p>
<p>You should also call the disability office, becasue the range of accoms are all over the board. One school we scratched off the list granted lang waivers only if the student took the class, worked with a tutor and failed. Another granted automatic lang waivers for students with ADD. </p>
<p>Also, ask whether the school will review documentation and tell you whether S is elig for accom WHEN HE HAS BEEN OFFERED ADMISSION rather than once he has enrolled. Although only a few schools agreed to this and we scratched schools that didn’t - - who want to enroll only to discover that the student doesn’t qualify for waivers or other expected accoms w/o which s/he may be unable to satisfy the schools grad reqs.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
