For Students With Signficant Difficulties In Reading & Writing

Our LIC (Language Intensive Curriculum) integrates assistive technology with the nationally recognized Wilson Reading System to create a classroom environment where students can engage with the material intellectually without the barriers of decoding, spelling, comprehension and working memory.

About Wilson Reading System

We use small group instruction in The Wilson Reading System - a carefully sequenced, 12-step program that teaches word structure and language to develop basic reading and writing skills. Landmark is a certified Wilson Training Center. Many of our faculty members have extensive backgrounds in Orton-Gillingham and find Wilson to be a dynamic approach for older students. We know that students who benefit from WRS have deficiencies in phonologic awareness and/or orthographic processing, which makes it challenging to learn to read and spell without an explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory approach.

About Assistive Technology

At Landmark, Assistive technology is strategically integrated throughout the curriculum. Our commitment to this integration begins with the recognition that being skilled in using information technology is essential for academic study, professional careers, and lifelong learning. However, we go further, recognizing that for students with learning disabilities and AD/HD, tools and learning strategies that incorporate technology may be absolutely vital to realizing their full potential. Integrating assistive technology (such as Kurzweil and InspirationT) into the classroom creates a learning environment in which students can actively participate in the learning process without the overwhelming obstacles caused by difficulties with decoding, comprehension or working memory. These powerful tools can help improve fluency and comprehension.
