Our Faculty

Landmark College's faculty is dedicated to providing support for students with learning disabilities and/or AD/HD. While all of our 93 full-time faculty have advanced degrees in their respective disciplines, each member of our faculty has training and expertise in working with students with learning disabilities and AD/HD.

In addition to academic disciplines, our faculty is also trined to assist students in broader skill areas. In other words, they are qualified to help students "learn how to learn."

The aim of all our faculty members is to understand how our students learn and to help make their learning experience engaging and rewarding.
