An Integrated Approach to Teaching Students Who Learn Differently

While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) and other learning challenges, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, or executive function challenges.

Personalized Assistance Not Found at Most Traditional Colleges

Students at Landmark College receive far more personal, directed assistance than at traditional colleges, which often provide a general assortment of accommodations for neurodiverse individuals. Individualized attention is provided by classroom instructors through courses specifically designed to meet students’ educational needs. This is reflected in the exceptionally low student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1. Experienced advisors meet frequently with students to review and guide their progress. In addition to advising, a wide array of other academic support is integral to a Landmark College education, including executive function coaching, educational technology support, and the services of the College’s many centers for academic support. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.

Degree Programs for Students and Professional Training for Educators

Originally founded as an associate degree-granting institution, Landmark College is expanding to offer more options. Our degree programs for students with LD include bachelor’s and associate degrees in a variety of fields. We also offer an array of minors and concentrations. While many students earn a two- or four-year degree here, others attend our Bridge Experience, gain the skills and strategies they need to succeed, then transfer to another institution. We also offer a broad selection of summer programs for middle school students, rising high school juniors and seniors, recent high school graduates, and visiting college students. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the nation’s only LD-focused research institute located on a college campus exclusively for students with LD, ADHD, and ASD, we teach educators how to teach students who learn differently. We offer an extensive menu of online and onsite professional learning offerings, including webinars, an online course series on executive function, a Summer Institute, and an LD Innovation Symposium.
