NOTE: We typically try to stay away from subjective categories like "would be good for" here on the wiki, but given the emerging need for resources that address this population, we thought it might be helpful to at least give folks a jumping off point.

Additionally, here are some websites that might be of help as you research schools:

http://www.thinkcollege.net
http://kaarme.com/Learning_Disability_College_Programs
The College Living Experience (http://www.cleinc.net/home.aspx).  (They have locations around the country and they work with students who enroll in appropriate colleges in each locale, so it might actually provide more flexibility for the student.)
