Students
Students arrive at the LDI with a wide spectrum of issue, goals, and objectives. The LDI staff work with students to identify and understand both their personal assets and limitations-not just in the realm of disabilities, but as human beings. This approach assists in students understanding how to develop the self-awareness needed to face the challenges of the adult world.
LDI can help students that are 16 years of age and older through several
levels in their transition to independent and self-supported living -
from earning their high school diplomas, starting college, to achieving
careers through employment that is compatible with their unique capabilities.
LDI works with students who have been diagnosed with a variety of conditions
commonly termed "hidden disabilities" - i.e., Asperger's syndrome,
ADHD, Learning Disabilities, high functioning autism, Mood Disorders,
Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders.
LDI recognizes and considers the fact that there are frequently secondary
diagnoses with these conditions, and will discuss these conditions as
possible eligibility entrance considerations. All students receiving treatment
from a psychiatrist must be willing to be medication compliant. LDI does
offer medication support, but the willingness on the part of the student
to take medications as prescribed, is an entrance criterion.
Many LDI students have driver's licenses and may bring their cars the
first semester or any time thereafter. Some of students come in with college
credits, some right out of high school, and a few have graduated from
college with Associate or Bachelor degrees. There are some students who
choose not to attend a college or technical training and are strictly
focused on employment. LDI has a very diverse population, just like one
would find in the workforce or any adult community.
