Introduction to Learning Disabilities
Successful programs and instruction should be based on a solid
understanding of the nature and characteristics of learning disabilities
and attention disorders and how these can impact academic skills and behaviors. This interactive session provides an
overview of terms, definitions, and characteristics, as well as practical advice for educators.
Universal Design: Best Practices for All Learners
When educators use research-proven effective techniques in their courses, all students will benefi t, not just those with
learning disabilities. This workshop presents best practices for the high school and college classroom, based on research
and on Landmark College's decades of hands-on, practical experience.
Introduction to Teaching Writing
Academic writing may well be the most challenging task students face in college. This workshop provides a framework
for understanding where and why students' skills break down, and how instructors can best support students striving
to improve their written expression.
Integrating Study Skills in the Curriculum
Instructors expect students to enter college with adequate skills in organization, note-taking, text reading, and
test preparation, but this is often not the case. This workshop will present classroom-proven, explicit strategies for
strengthening students' competence in these areas, which are fundamental to academic success.
Teaching Reading in the Content Areas
The reading process can be very challenging for students with LD or AD/HD, and students with reading difficulties
are at serious risk for being left behind in content area courses. This workshop presents principles and best practices for
facilitating reading and ensuring that students utilize the strategies necessary for mastering information in the content
areas.
Introduction to Assistive Technology
Assistive technology can provide students with the support they need to access information and express what they know
about course content. But which technologies work best for students with LD or AD/HD? This workshop provides an
overview of the assistive technology solutions that are available to support academic reading, writing, and study skills,
along with guidance on how to match the appropriate technology to individual students.
Assisting Students through Student Life Issues
Education professionals know that students must often deal with important student life issues, related to residential
living, extra-curricular activities, and self-management, as they go through their schooling. This workshop explores
issues faced by students with LD or AD/HD, and provides guidance on how students facing critical issues can be
assisted by educational resources and staff.
