The Landmark College Institute for Research & Training has announced plans for their 2026 Summer Institute, the latest installment in the annual retreat for educators. The institute, which will take place from June 23 to June 25, aims to provide educators with the skills they need to provide neurodivergent learners a world-class education.
Cognitive scientist Dr. Maureen Dunne will be the keynote speaker at the institute, and will also be offering a workshop. She is the author of the bestselling book, The Neurodiversity Edge: The Essential Guide to Embracing Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Neurological Differences for Any Organization, published in 2024. Dunne's keynote presentation will cover how neurodiversity can fit into the emerging AI-powered future.
Professor of School Psychology at Lehigh University Dr. George DuPaul will be the Plenary Speaker at the Summer Institute. DuPaul is also the Associate Director of the Center for Community-Driven Assistive Technologies. His presentation will describe effective interventions for promoting organizational skills, academic performance, and social functioning in youth and emerging adults with ADHD.
Those interested in the 2026 Summer Institute can view the draft agenda, register, and submit a presentation proposal online. Early bird pricing for the Institute is available through April 15, 2026.
