The Drake Center for Academic Support is the first place students turn for help with reading, writing and study skills. There is also a Science Support Center, a Math Support Center and Writing Lab for specific help in these areas.

For students working to overcome problems with ADHD, LDs, and executive function issues, Coaching Services can provide ongoing strategies and support.
Counseling & Health
Counseling Services are available to provide support to students dealing with stress and other personal, social or academic difficulties. Health Services offers support for physical issues.
Educational Technology
Educational Technology Services can help students take advantage of the array of assistive technologies available to students with ADHD and LDs.
Library
The Library offers walk-in assistance as well as one-on-one appointments with students to assist them with their research projects and with developing information literacy. The Library building offers a welcoming space conducive to individual and small-group study, as well as resources to support students' curricular and extra-curricular needs and interests.
The Landmark Difference
Landmark offers the same range of student services found at any college—from counseling and health services to student life and athletics.

Tips for Educators to Trigger Interest in STEM Learning
Participatory Design is a method which involves users in the design process to ensure products meet user requirements. Research in STEM learning indicates that a key factor in creating an effective STEM curriculum is to provide accessible opportunities to engage students in group problem solving. Such an approach allows for on-the-spot reasoning and discussion, and allows students to test their own understanding (Wieman & Perkins, 2005) through practical hands-on engagement. Landmark College students were given examples of Participatory Design and then had the opportunity to evaluate and design accessible mobile Apps or games using this method. In this paper we review the results.
