Landmark Outreach

Landmark Outreach Empowering students with LBLDs by offering their teachers exemplary professional development.

Our veteran teachers help fellow educators broaden their thinking about how to assist students who struggle with language. Landmark Outreach provides the bridge that links teachers with the evidence-based practices that improve student outcomes. We offer consulting, online courses, graduate courses and seminars, and publications to help educators enhance their instruction of students with language

-based learning disabilities (LBLD). We don’t deliver pre-packaged programs—we challenge teachers to understand the nature of language-based learning difficulties and find ways to make evidence-based practices work in their own classrooms. Educators who work with us report significant increases in knowledge about LBLD and confidence in implementing language-based instruction. LBLD Professional Development Strands
