I saw these articles and thought I'd pass it along. I'm in the process of putting together a list of resources for parents on LD/ADD issues - please let me know of any you have found. Thanks!

http://www.smu.edu/alec/ldtransition.html

http://www.advocacyinstitute.org/projects/postsec_realistic_option.shtml - has a nice section on questions to ask when visiting colleges

http://www.fln.vcu.edu/ld/ld.html#Foreign - This is a list of resources on LD's for foreign language teachers. Of particular interest are the links discussing how/whether LD students need to meet foreign language requirements. (If anyone is interested, I have a small list of colleges, mainly in the NE, of colleges that do not have foreign language requirements for LD students)

This one isn't specifically about college, but an excellent resource on ADD:

The second article has a few disturbing comments, especially the idea of sending LD students to tech schools or limiting where they should attend based on the LDs. Those who can should aspire to attend 4 year colleges where they can pursue their areas of interest.
