"With the union of Landmark College's pioneering work in accessible education and Antioch University's commitment to social justice, we forge a transformative path for training counselors and educators," shares Professor of Applied Psychology and Antioch University's Counseling Division Dean, Cathy Lounsbury, EdD, LCPC. "This partnership will deepen the understanding of neurodivergence and profoundly impact countless lives, championing a more inclusive and equitable future for all."
Landmark College provides highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and achieve their greatest potential. Antioch University is a premier leader in uniting passion and purpose and is committed to creating an equitable and socially just society.
"The partnership between Antioch University and Landmark College is one borne of mutual respect and admiration for institutional mission and values,” explains Dr. Adam Lalor, Landmark College Vice President for Neurodiversity Research and Innovation. "Together, we have the opportunity to transform counseling and education for neurodivergent people by preparing knowledgeable and skilled professionals who value accessibility, equity, and inclusivity.”
To build on Landmark College's dynamic learning, graduates of the Landmark College postbaccalaureate Certificate in Learning Differences and Neurodiversity (LDN) program can now transfer their credits and experience into the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program or the Master of Education for Experienced Educators, both offered at Antioch University. Likewise, students enrolled in those Antioch University programs now have the opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge available in one of the LDN Certificate’s three areas of specialization: Executive Function, Autism on Campus and Online, or Postsecondary Disability Services.
“Antioch University and Landmark College are well-suited to be partners,“ shares Dr. James Dlugos, Landmark College Interim President. “Both institutions are innovative and entrepreneurial, and we both are committed to addressing today’s and—more importantly—tomorrow’s challenges. Strategic partnerships like this one are a way colleges and universities can expand their reach and amplify the good we strive to do every day. I’m excited to see where this relationship leads.”
