Students With Learning Disabilities Get Help With College

Philippe Gation

I am looking for information for my son who is 21 years old

Social Competence in adulthood

Good article highlighting some of the challenges for folks on the autistic spectrum or with other learning differences, attention problems or other challenges impacting a successful transition to adulthood. I would note however, that the social problems many of these individuals face transcend the functions of friendship and/or loneliness. At the young adult stages and beyond, social deficits interfere with major aspects of life such as ability to get and keep a job, to live independently, understand & follow societies rules/laws, to choose, train and work in a career, to get along with others in a family, and to maintain relationships such as spouses or to be a parent. Without supports, the vast majority of folks with these challenges remain unemployed, underemployed and dependent upon their families throughout adulthood despite high IQs and proficient abilities to speak.

Kudos for CLE

My son just spent two years at CLE Denver and we could not be happier with the results. He is now working on his own to complete his Bachelor's Degree and, if all goes according to plan, he will graduate a semester early. He is even talking about going on to do a Masters degree. If your child has Asperger's syndrome or anything along that spectrum, I highly recommend CLE for academic and social support. The program was worth every penny!

great concept

I am happy for Brittany and for all the kids that are helped by your program. Our daughter attended the CLE in Chicago for one year and compared to the huge expense of the program, we did not received the results Brittany did. Granted all kids are different, and buyer beware, all staff are different too. The concept of this program is excellent but if you are thinking about investing, check out the staff carefully and check out the track record of the city your are interested in. CLE has 6 locations that we are aware of and Denver has always been high achieving in our minds. We would definitely repeat our experience but at another location.

Great news

As the father of a child with learning disabilities, it was heartening to learn about the program providing assistance for students in that category. There have been a number of colleges with learning disability programs, but we did not find that they met the needs of our students.

Thanks for the information.
