College-bound students with learning differences such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) normally have difficulty choosing the best college to go to, but thanks to a book that was made them choose the right school, it just became easier.

The book, "The K and W Guide to Colleges for Students with Learning Differences," will be helpful to families who have a college-bound student with learning disabilities, ABC reported. It will guide them through the college application process, and will help narrow their choices to find a school where their student can learn and be successful while being happy.

"This book is perfect for finding a college that will fit my son's needs," a certain L. Rowley said about the book in a review. "Very comprehensive. I would recommend it to any parents with LD children."

The book, created by Imy Wax and Marybeth Kravets, was made for a variety of reasons.

"It's a combination of opportunity," Wax said, explaining that they worked on the book because of their own children, as well as the kids they see in the places they work in.

"So together we decided that there was a need. We wanted to know that there was a future for students who learn differently," Wax added.

The guide lists more than 300 schools that offer programs specially designed for students with ADHD and other learning disabilities. It also lists information on admissions, services, and support that is made available for each student at each school.

The colleges have been broken down into three categories so that parents and students could make the best choice according to their needs.

"We put it into three levels," Wax said. "We felt that there are colleges as Marybeth said that federal funding so they have to offer something. Then there are colleges that offer a lot more but you don't necessarily have to pay extra for it and yet it has more depth. Then there are colleges not only have a program but you can pay more to have even that much more individual opportunity."
