Colleges in the West?

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

I’m hoping that someone may be familar with colleges located in the western states that have good LD support systems. I have reviewed many of the directories but I’m finding that it is difficult to narrow the group down to a managable list for visiting. Does anyone out there have direct knowledge of any schools/programs? I’m disappointed that the programs that I see most mentioned (in a variety of sources) seem to be in the eastern states.

I think the situation that will work best for our daughter will be a small, nurturing school. Sara is quite motivated but I expect that she will have difficulty with organizarion, writing, lengthy reading assignments, and math. She would like the continuity of attending a single school for 4 years (probably more) but we would certainly consider a 2 year program that would prepare her to transfer. Sara would prefer a residential college rather than a community college. We believe that the experience of living away from home will be good for her as well.

Thanks for any ideas you can pass along.
