LANDMARK COLLEGE’S GUIDE TO ASSESSING COLLEGE READINESS
For Parents of College-bound Children with Learning Disabilities or ADHD
College Readiness for Students with Learning Disabilities
Are you a parent with a son or daughter who aspires to attend college? Navigating the journey to higher education can be exciting and challenging, especially for students with learning disabilities or ADHD. Understanding the unique needs and essential foundations for success in a traditional college setting is crucial, and that’s where Landmark College’s expertise comes into play.
Landmark College has identified five critical foundations for students with learning disabilities or AD/HD. These foundations serve as the building blocks for a successful college experience. By gaining insights into these core areas, students can recognize the challenges they may face during their college journey and identify areas where they might benefit from additional support and development.
This guide is based on Landmark College’s nearly quarter-century experience exclusively educating students with learning disabilities and AD/HD. So, whether you’re a student preparing for college or a parent supporting your child’s educational journey, join us as we explore the keys to unlocking college success for those with unique learning needs.
Understanding the Results
This guide serves as an initial point of reference for meaningful discussions regarding college readiness for students with learning disabilities. Determining potential areas of difficulty makes it easier to determine the necessary support systems. The questionnaire-generated scores offer valuable insights into a student’s specific challenges.
Within each Foundation Area, you’ll find a concise definition followed by thoroughly exploring the implications tied to the score. These scoring implications, associated with each Foundation Area, are significant and provide more detailed insights than the overall percentile.
A score of 80 percent or higher indicates that a student is likely well-prepared to independently navigate the challenges of a traditional college environment. Conversely, scoring below 50 percent suggests a student may face significant challenges in such a setting. For these students, the specialized strategies and skills-building programs offered at Landmark College could prove invaluable before embarking on the journey of a traditional college experience.
