Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 155: Inside Landmark College's Unique Approach to Supporting Neurodivergent Students · 29 Apr 2019 podcast

So any student who needs extra time, for example, can get that through that by just going up and talking to the faculty member and saying, I need extra time.

And what often happens is students realize that it's not what they need i extra time is really not what they need.

But what they need is a different way of approaching the content before they came to the test or having more connections with the instructor for clarifications and office hour time.

uh going to our tutoring center, maybe sleeping well before the day of the test, and on and on.

So and we do research in that area.

And based on our research, we now have as employees five therapy dogs.

We do research with greening and its effect on cognition.

We have a pacing corridor where students some students help uh it helps them to calm down if they're pacing before going into the exam room.

So traditional ways of addressing students' needs, but also non-traditional ways.

Yeah, great question.

Uh so one of my favorite quotes from one of the students is landmark college gave me my smile back.

And you know, the best way I can operationalize the ethos of landmark college is through the tenets of uh non-directive coaching.

So for example, uh students know that landmark college is a safe place to fail, but

they know that they are accountable for their actions.

So that gives them a sense of agency, which they have may not have had ever in their life, where in the past they've been told by the teacher or the guidance counsellor or their parents what to do.

For the first time for many of our students, it's like, You mean I can make the decision for myself?

And it's okay if I fail?

Uh we talk to a lot of our students about how the brain learns and brain based learning.

So for example, our brains are not perfect at learning the first time around.

We actually learn through trial and error.
