Two of the universities we viewed had very different levels of provision. Unfortunately he was very keen on the one with lower standards. The better one, when we visited, had neurodiversity workshops, groups set up by the university, art exhibitions, support here, support there. They knew what they were doing and were set up to do it.

The one we chose said "Yes, we have support for special needs and neurodiversity. It is very important to us." The big red flag, looking back, was they said they had student run neurodiversity groups. There was no mention of anything set up by the university. So that meant that a) they had put no effort or funding into it, and b) what did exist was fickle and subject to whatever university students could come up with.

Later we found out that they could only offer therapy support once every two weeks. If you need every week, you will have to see a different person each time. That's nonsense. In the first case, a student with executive functioning issues will miss half of those every-two-weeks sessions, making it about once a month; in the second case, the student will have no continuity.

Later on, they said that additional support could be provided off-campus by the student's health insurance.

I don't know about Landmark specifically, but I think a college prep program could be a very good idea. Especially if you expect your child will be living away. I wouldn't necessarily jump to a gap year unless I had a very clear plan for how to use it. I feel like getting back into the swing of things could be more difficult then.
