Yes! Absolutely, there are colleges for people with dyslexia! In this world of technology, being able to read and write is less important -- as long as you are able to compensate for it.

Being able to read is not a sign of intelligence. Some of the brightest, most creative minds are dyslexic. In fact, there is a study that links dyslexia to becoming a millionaire. (And I know one personally!)

I am a former college Learning Specialist and raised a son with a language-based LD who graduated college successfully.

I started a subscription list for parents or students interested in successful postsecondary transition. You can receive free articles, news, and tips - just subscribe at
