Help available for SPD and college dorms!
If you (or your offspring) are going to be attending college and staying in a dorm, there's some help for you! Having a room mate means weird smells, annoying sounds, light pollution and bed vibrations if you have to have a bunk. Most colleges will accept a letter from a therapist and psych that you have SPD and require a single dorm room (no roommates) for optimal college performance. If you are registered with their disability services, they may even provide you with a single room at the same rate as a multiple occupancy room, or sometimes even a room with private bathroom facilities. For being overwhelmed in the giant lecture halls, they sometimes offer a note-taking or lecture recording service, and may also be able to offer private or smaller test-taking rooms. Sometimes they require that you check in with the disability office on a regular basis for 'progress reports' but it's well worth it! Look into what the college offers, and speak to the disability services!
