Purpose
The Learning Disabilities Program is designed to assist students who have average to above average potential for learning but are not achieving their educational goals due to difficulties with reading, writing, or math. The goal of the program is to provide support services and accommodations which level the playing field for students to be successful in college level courses.
Typical learning disabilities include difficulties in a specific area such as reading comprehension, written expression, spelling, math, vocabulary, memory, auditory processing, visual processing, or any combination of the above.
