English term or phrase: Accomodations in work load
We mentioned previously that there is a wide range of abilities among people with Williams syndrome. For some, college programming is not appropriate, while for others it can be quite rewarding. More and more, young adults with WS are attending college sponsored programs - primarily at local community colleges, but also at larger universities across the country that provide support for learning disabled students. The level of support available for students varies from very little (other than special testing methods and accommodations in work load) to quite pronounced. There is also an increasing number of post- secondary programs whose primary focus is independent living skills; practical academics (such as check balancing and money management); social development; and vocational preparation. The WSA can help you locate these programs.
