You can go to any college that has the majors you are interested in. When you are looking at the colleges talk to their Disability Office. They can help you get accommodations you may need (more time on tests, a quiet room for testing, a note taker, etc.) If you have an IEP or 504 plan bring it to the office and they can help see what you need. Good luck!

All public colleges and universities legally have to provide accommodations. There is no ‘special’ public college for people with any kind of disabilities.
Any college insisting otherwise is only performing a marketing gimmick designed to take money from people not knowing the law. Colleges don’t do this as a ‘favor’ they have to comply with the law.
BUT there are two legal differences from k-12 special ed, a college/university legally cannot follow the IEP which you had in high school.The IEP ends when you graduate high school
Colleges only provide something called ‘a reasonable accommodation’ to an otherwise qualified student’. You must be capable of successfully performing the college level curriculum, with accommodations only to the format which curriculum it is delivered in (bigger text size, being allowed to tape professor lectures, taking tests in a quiet room).
A separate curriculum cannot get designed for you if you want to attend college.
This is because college is legally not required of any person, whether we have a disability or otherwise. We must come in already intellectually qualified to successfully earn an academic degree according to the college’s academic program requirements.
Pick a degree program which you are capable of completing even with learning disabilities. Look at the webpages of colleges and see if there are any courses which would ‘accommodate’ your disability.
For instance, I have a learning disability in math. So to accommodate my university’s core requirement, I took a ‘history of math’ course which is listed as satisfying the core curriculum. It is an elective for most math majors, but because it was also listed as a core course, I and non-math majors (including those without any disability) could take it.
After admitted to the college, you meet with the accommodations office to decide what accommodations you are eligible to receive in the college environment.
Bringing the IEP document can give them some idea of what accommodations you previously received, but since it is not binding in this academic environment, they legally do not have to follow it if they want to. It’s now just a piece of paper.
And the college disability office can also have new academic testing performed on you to ensure that you are eligible for their services from their office. It is a different set of rules in the college environment.
Most colleges. Find what college you are interested in, and call their disability office. Take your 504 Plan or IEP with you to the office and let them know what you need. You can also speak with professors individually about accommodations.
Since you are looking into a junior college, they all offer services for students with learning disabilities.

MOST (not all) colleges must make REASONABLE accommodations under ADA and/or 504
Religious colleges are exempt
junior colleges may not have these classes. you would need to transfer to a 4 year college after.
there are some colleges that have a better reputation for helping students with disabilities
