Some schools, like UC Berkeley for example, automatically give students who disclose an LD in their application the opportunity to re-route their applications through the disability office, along with an invitation to submit a supplemental application, a letter of recommendation (or two), and a short explanation of how the LD has impacted the student. They state that participating in this augmented review process CANNOT hurt the applicant, and can only help with admissions. You may want to choose whether or not to disclose on a school by school basis depending on how each school handles the situation.
