<p>I agree with @happykidsmom. My son did a summer program as a trial run for college. My concern wasn’t so much about academics but social & organizational. How would he do with a roommate? Would he get himself up on time in the morning? Would he do his laundry? Would he remember to take his meds every day? My rationale was that if it didn’t work out we were only out the cost of the summer program instead of a whole semester’s tuition, room & board. </p>
<p>DS is now a freshman @ Temple. When he was looking at schools I made sure there was some mention of support services in a school’s literature and/or website. Sometimes it took quite a bit of digging which is usually not a good sign. Once he was accepted at a school we took a closer look at what type of support was offered. It varies widely depending on the school. </p>
