» Our Students

(are bright, curious, and motivated to learn)

Landmark School is for students entering grades 2–12 who have been diagnosed with dyslexia or another language-based learning disability (LBLD), which falls under the broader category of specific learning disability (SLD).

Our students possess average to superior cognitive abilities, as measured by the Wechsler Scales (WISC or WAIS). They have well-developed reasoning and comprehension skills but often have weaknesses in processing speed or working memory. They are well-adjusted young people with a healthy social and emotional well being.

Landmark accepts students who are struggling in traditional classrooms because their reading, writing, computing, and organizational skills do not match their cognitive potential.

We accept students who have one or more of the following:

CHECK-CIRCLE dyslexia/reading disability

CHECK-CIRCLE disorder of written language

CHECK-CIRCLE expressive language disorder

CHECK-CIRCLE executive function weaknesses

We are NOT an appropriate school for students with:

TIMES-SQUARE nonverbal learning disabilities

TIMES-SQUARE autism spectrum disorders/Asperger’s syndrome

TIMES-SQUARE Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)

TIMES-SQUARE primary social/emotional/behavioral disorders
