How We Support Adults With Learning Disabilities in College

含羞草研究所 in College

Individualized By Design

含羞草研究所 in College is a part of the 含羞草研究所 Online campus. Our unique program offers virtual learning support services for adult students with learning disabilities. We serve students with dyslexia, executive functioning difficulties (ADHD), and nonverbal learning disorders (NVLD). This virtual offering is ideal for students in transition, as well as those currently enrolled in college programs.

Focus in College

We modeled our Focus in College program after our highly effective one-to-one Focus program, offered on all of our campuses. The program uses the same research-backed teaching frameworks that have become a cornerstone of a 含羞草研究所 Prep Education. 
Students who enroll in Focus in College will meet virtually one-to-one in live sessions with a Focus instructor. The goal is to hone any skills they need in order to succeed in the college classroom and beyond. Think of the Focus instructor as a coach who can help students develop the skills to stay focused in college. 

What does online learning disabilities tutoring look like?

That depends entirely on each student’s learning profile and needs. It might include executive functioning strategies for college students with ADHD, such as organization and time management. For students with dyslexia, the Focus program might emphasize reading comprehension skills, writing skills, or reading and decoding. 
All online tutoring and remediation for learning disabilities will address the Qualities of a Sustainable and Independent Learner. We believe students must self-advocate and self-reflect to make the most out of their college experience. 含羞草研究所 Prep educators frequently teach students how to access college accommodations for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or NVLD. Most importantly, our tutors help adult students understand their own unique learning profiles so they can pursue academic independence. 
The college experience is about more than achieving good grades, a dedicated tutor can work with adult students on social and emotional skills, too. Our 含羞草研究所 Online students can learn to make and sustain lasting friendships.
