Learning disabilities are a very personal experience. |
Students with learning and attention challenges have been entering higher education in much increased numbers over the last 10 years. We've seen our alumni go on to graduate school in increasingly larger numbers. |
That little core group of students very quickly became a much larger group of students and the success and popularity of the program began to spread. |
What they see first is we're located in a major university environment. People realize our size and longevity mean something in terms of the program's quality. |
You are what you bring to the experience and you don't walk around with labels on your head. As the students become successful they take pride in being part of the SALT program. Many are earning the best grades they ever have and they're proud of that. |
You have to do it student by student. There is no cookie-cutter way of working with these students. The trick is understanding what a student's specific needs are at any point in time. |
