Hello - my sophomore Skidkid with exec function issues has felt very supported, but is also thriving at this place that encourages intellectual engagement and has small classes with personal professors who will literally spot her across the green and yell hello (calling her by name). They accepted her 504 without any challenge or argument, but she has only ever used extra testing time. One of her accommodations related to using a laptop to be able to take notes, and some professors definitely don’t love that because they find it interferes with engagement and discussion – and overally, different professors have different interest in following supports, but it’s flexible I’d say. There is an accommodation center that has tons of help available based on needs. There is also peer tutoring, which first years are encouraged to use, setting a tone for freely getting assistance. Students enjoy being peer tutors as well. So not sure what the need is, but this school is 100% dedicated to supporting mental health. Their last investment dollars were spent on a Tennis & Wellness center, they have full time therapy dogs that have scheduled office hours, and the entire campus is on a beautiful wooded property that makes it feel almost like summer camp. We are 10/10 fans of Skidmore.
