Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) is Landmark College's research, training, and dissemination arm.
Established in 2001, the foundation for the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training is founded on more than two decades of educational experience serving students with learning disabilities and AD/HD at the post-secondary level. This experience combines with Landmark College's nationally recognized professional development programs for educators and its unique research capabilities to create the Institute.
The Institute researches and develops best practices for the
education of struggling students, particularly individuals with learning disabilities and AD/HD. We
disseminate our work to
educators and other professionals through
services such as workshops, regional institutes, institutional needs assessments, and consultations.
The Institute houses several significant federal and state grant projects that support the continued development of innovative practices, publications, and research projects.
