Stanford University’s Schwab Learning Center (SLC) was made possible through the endowment of entrepreneur, Mr. Charles Schwab, who is himself dyslexic and a Stanford graduate. The services of the SLC are not mandated activities, such as those offered in Stanford’s Office of Accessible Education. However, they offer important support for students with learning differences during college and across the lifespan. Some of the services include: self-awareness of one’s personal learning profile, assignment to experienced learning specialists for advice and specialized learning and technology-based strategies; 1-1 tutoring with graduate students trained in working with students with a variety of learning differences; technology training and assessment; community, clinician, faculty and TA outreach and professional development; diagnostic screenings for suspected learning differences; advice on disclosure in the workplace and at school; a resource center for graduates on navigating the accommodations process on graduate and licensing exams; forums with internationally known experts; and career panels hosting successful Stanford graduates with learning differences; partnerships with research organizations and home to the CAST UDL Innovation Studio at the Schwab Learning Center.

Recently, the SLC has embarked on an effort to redesign the Center to reflect current priorities in the fields of Dyslexia, ADHD, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and address the greater neurodiversity among postsecondary students. The SLC in alignment with BEAM, Stanford Career Development is designed to prepare students for success in life at Stanford and beyond. This requires a different philosophical approach to provide services that prepare students for the lifespan, focus on student strengths, and provide innovative tools to address student needs. The new vision is intended to propel the SLC to be the foremost center of its kind in postsecondary settings.

The three key messages of the SLC focus on:

1. A commitment to globally shifting the paradigm of disability to a strengths-based model of learning differences and Universal Design for Learning, through education, innovation and outcomes;

2. Expert staff who are compassionate and dedicated to teaching students to leverage their gifts and talents through self-awareness and research-based activities; and

3. The design of innovative services, tools and programs to prepare students with learning differences to live meaningfully across the lifespan.
