Schools For Dyslexic and Learning Disabled Students in New England
by Dr. Howard
Fortunately New England is rich in having so many fine secondary schools skilled in the instruction of Dyslexia, ADHD, as well as many other learning difficulties. Foremost among these are the Landmark School of Beverly, MA, and the Carroll School, in Lincoln, MA.
Landmark is an internationally renowned facility that provides residential and day instruction to students in grades 2-12. Located on two beautiful campuses on the North Shore of Boston, Landmark is equipped to teach both profoundly disabled as well as more moderately impaired students. They provide a ratio of one to three in terms of teacher student instruction, and a full 92 per cent of their graduates attend college. They have a highly skilled staff and all the technological facilities to improve students' learning skills. More information on Landmark can be obtained by going to the website landmarkschool.org.
The Carroll School in Lincoln, MA is also a well known facility that provides instruction for students in grades 1-8 that has been in operation for over forty years. Their staff is thoroughly trained in the Orton Gillingham approach, and there is a very active parent involvement in the school. Emphasis on a multisensory approach employing visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile modalities are used to help students learn more efficiently, and in a manner that ensures the retention of the instruction. Active use of technology and computer programs such as the Lexia program are used with students in all grade levels. More information can be obtained by going to the website carrollschool.org.
Other fine programs in the New England area include the Pine Ridge School, just outside Burlington, Vt. (Pineridgeschool.com), The Greenwood School, in Putney, VT. (Greenwoodschool.org), and The Eagle Hill School, in the central Massachusetts area (Ehs1.org). The Gow School in neighboring New York is another fine institution with a well respected program for students in 7-12th grades (Gow.org).
On the college and post secondary level, many colleges and universities offer some very significant levels of academic support. In New England the Program for the Advancement of Learning at Curry College, in Milton, MA. (milton.edu). is an innovator in the field. Strong academic support programs are also offered at Northeastern University, in Boston, MA. (northeastern.edu), Suffolk University, in Boston, MA. (suffolk.edu), Endicott College, in Beverly, MA. (endicott.edu), Bentley College, in Waltham, MA. (bentley.edu).
With respect to providing more assistance, Landmark College in Putney, Vermont (landmark.edu), is a full time post secondary program exclusively for students with learning challenges. This program is well known, and is useful for those students whose learning issues would make it difficult for them to succeed even with a significant amount of support in a less intensive program of academic support.

Transcript:
People are not going to automatically find your website just because it's on the internet. It takes time, it takes hard work and it takes know-how to effectively market your website. A good start is to make sure you submit your website to the top search engines. Also, networking with other websites is important. Talk to your friends and associates who have websites and create as many doorways into your website as possible. The search engines look favorably upon this especially if the sites linking to you are sites with similar topics. You may consider hiring a professional search engine marketing firm because you'll need to dedicate a lot of time for as long as you have your website. So it may be best to leave it to the professionals.
Keep an eye on the competition that's ranking high for your category on the search engines. See what the number one site is doing. Maybe they are doing something you can do or do even better. Maybe they're not doing something that you can do. If your business and is just starting out on the Internet, you can market your website using pay per click advertising. With pay per click advertising you only pay when people click on your advertisement and come over to your website. So it's a great way to get highly targeted leads to your website.
