For all first year students, the college transition
can be both academically and socially challenging. Learning how
to manage time and discipline oneself for fun and study does not
come naturally for any student.
SNL recognizes that incoming students with learning differences
not only face those challenges that are common to their peers, but
they also face their unique challenges of coping and succeeding
in college with learning differences.
