FLY Program
Achieving success for students with Learning Disabilities and Attention Challenges
The Falcon Learning Your Way (FLY) Program was developed to assist students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) and/or ADHD during the transition from high school to college by providing individualized support every step of the way. FLY provides the cognitive and emotional support students may need, as we know that no two people learn the same way. Students will work with their assigned Learning Specialist to develop and implement individualized academic support plans, including the assessment and evaluation of their individual skills to determine learning needs and additional support.

The Learning Commons does not provide academic accommodations.
Bowling Green State University students looking for disability-related accommodations can work through the BGSU Accessibility Services.
The mission of Accessibility Services at Bowling Green State University is to provide equal access and opportunity to qualified students, faculty, and staff with disabilities. The office's goal is to increase awareness of disability issues and support the success of students with disabilities by providing opportunities for full integration into the BGSU community.
These opportunities may include accommodations taking class notes and exams, choosing housing or completing housing appeals, and finding scholarships.
To apply for accessibility services, students can submit digital forms.
