“Kirkwood is amazing when it comes to students with learning disabilities. I’ve had access to the Learning Center, Test Center, and TRIO program, which helped me get tutoring and stay on track — especially with math. Even when things were stressful, I always felt supported. Teachers and staff were on my side.”
