By taking the steps to enroll your child at Landmark School, you likely have a strong understanding of the academic challenges your student has faced as a result of their learning difference. But have you ever wondered what that difference has felt like for your child?

The Landmark Parents’ Association invites you to join us for an interactive Experience Dyslexia® Simulation, based on curriculum produced by the International Dyslexia Association Northern California Branch. Participate in a series of group activities designed to simulate the challenges many students with language-based learning disabilities (LBLDs) face in a “traditional” classroom setting. This educational and enlightening program will be immediately followed by a casual brunch and discussion among fellow Landmark parents/guardians and faculty facilitators.
