For transfer students who enter the college with the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills necessary to fully participate in the credit-level curriculum, while also focusing on their academic difficulties with executive functions.
Students who place into Landmark’s EF curriculum enroll in three required courses that address their executive functioning needs: English Composition: ADHD Theory and Practice in the English department, Perspectives in Learning in the First Studies department, and the one-credit Group Advising class to learn about the nature of ADHD executive functioning learning difficulties and the strategies needed to address these difficulties.
About Assistive Technology
At Landmark we know that students with reading disorders and ADHD often benefit from learning and using assistive technology. In addition to coursework, EF students can work one-on-one with an Assistive Technology Specialist to learn technology strategies designed to make college-level reading and writing more manageable.
About Our Network of Support Services
The First Year Program at Landmark exposes students to the many support people on campus to help them face their learning challenges and to become more aware of themselves as learners. Students are encouraged to utilize the professional support offered through the Drake Center for Academic Support (DCAS), Coaching, Counseling, Advising, and office hours with professors.
