Landmark School works with students entering grades 2–12 who have been diagnosed with a language-based learning disability (LBLD), such as dyslexia, which falls under the broader category of specific learning disability (SLD).
Landmark carefully considers each candidate to determine a student’s readiness to access the curriculum and instruction our teachers are trained to provide.
Most Landmark students possess average to superior cognitive abilities, as measured by the Wechsler Scales (WISC or WAIS) and have a healthy social and emotional well-being. They have well-developed reasoning and comprehension skills but often have relative weaknesses in processing speed and/or working memory. Landmark students are motivated to learn. Our students struggled in traditional classrooms because their reading, writing, computing, and organizational skills did not match their cognitive potential.
