Students with dyslexia, non-verbal learning disorders, language based learning disorders, reading disorders, ADHD, Aspergers, high functioning autism and twice exceptional students all have additional hoops to jump through when applying to university. World Student Support ensures that students with specific learning disabilities apply to schools with a strong commitment to supporting its LD students. In addition to the college application portfolio created for all its clients, World Student Support helps LD students identify the colleges and universities best suited to their individual needs, meet deadline dates for SAT/ACT for extended time on tests, as well as gather and submit all materials necessary for support at university.

While there are international schools that provide services for students with specific learning disabilities, these schools do not traditionally follow the laws and regulations of their home countries (SEN in the UK, IDEA in the US). Some international schools offer excellent special education services, but families need to know in advance what degree of support is available. Families also need to be prepared for changes in their childŐs current educational plan. Families should be prepared to provide additional support or even consider boarding school options. World Student Support is available to help families determine the best course of action when moving abroad with a student who has special education needs.

Students with specific learning issues may benefit from a specialized boarding school that directly addresses learning disabilities. These schools promote independence, compensatory skills, on site residential support systems, on site therapy. Many prepare students to return to public education or prepare them for higher education. World Student Support has extensive knowledge of many outstanding boarding schools for students with unique learning profiles. World Student Support begins by assessing your student's goals and outcomes, and crafts a list of schools to match your student's needs.

World Student Support has longstanding connections with psychologists, and educational specialists, tutors, speech/language therapists, neuropsychologists and other types of clinicians throughout the world. World Student Support can refer families to therapeutic consultants for students who need emotional support and very specialized school settings (when emotional issues interfere with the ability to function with school, family and friends).
