Ten Ways We Differ from Other LD Support Programs

1. Paths and Diagnosis-Specific Supports

LC offers a variety of paths for your educational journey. You can choose to take courses on campus or online, attend one of our many summer programs, try out our one-year Transition at College (PG/Gap) or Bridge Experience, sample an Online Dual Enrollment course while in high school, or pursue an associate or bachelor’s degree. We provide diagnosis-specific supports such as executive function coaching, social pragmatics, advanced educational technology, and our Language Intensive Curriculum.

2.Therapy Dogs

We don’t just bring dogs on campus for final exam week. They’re here to provide you with support, companionship, and a small reminder of the comforts of home. Our Therapy Dogs even have their own office hours!

3. No Cut Policy

Want to play sports but afraid you won’t make the team? At LC, everyone is eligible to participate in our athletic and recreation programs.

4. Tax Savings

Many parents find that our unique educational focus serving students with a diagnosed learning disability qualifies them to earn significant medical tax deductions for tuition, fees, and even added expenses like books, computers, and transportation.

5. Perspectives in Learning

Most students with a learning difference (LD) don’t fully understand how they learn—but not here. Our innovative first-year course encourages you to read your LD testing, research it, understand it, and articulate it—then present your findings and begin advocating for yourself.

6. Universal Design

Our Universal Design approach gives you an equal opportunity to succeed. Classes are taught in a variety of ways such as visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically.

7. Landmark College’s Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT)

LCIRT, with its Virtual Reality Lab, Neurocognitive Laboratory, workshops, and cutting-edge research, is a leader in the field of LD. Students are able to intern with LCIRT and gain valuable experience.

8. Neurodiversity Hub

As the nation’s first Neurodiversity Hub, we work with leading employers worldwide to provide programs, skills, and experience to support neurodivergent students in becoming career-ready and building connections.

9. Study Abroad

Want to travel to Botswana and work on lion and rhino conservation? We do travel with a twist: 3-week faculty-led trips centered around a theme, journeying to such destinations as Japan, Costa Rica, England, Botswana, Alaska, Ireland, Caribbean, Germany, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Australia.

10. A Home for All

Our Centers for Diversity and Inclusion foster and celebrate diversity to create a welcoming campus community for all students.
