The Landmark East and Acadia Centre for Research on Learning Disabilities (The Centre) was established in 1995.
The research conducted under the auspices of The Centre is interdisciplinary in nature, emphasizing: |
- understanding learning disabilities (LD)
- applying this understanding for the ultimate benefit of educators and students, and
- addressing concerns specific to the population of students with LD.
Examples of research objectives include but are not limited to:
- understanding the nature and causes of deficits associated with LD
- understanding the relationship between LD and other disorders
- improving assessment and diagnostic techniques
- developing and testing educational techniques
- developing a regional LD resource centre

In 2007-2008, Landmark East has been invited by the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (project facilitated by the Learning Disabilities Association of Nova Scotia) and St. Mary's University - Universal Liberated Learning to participate in the Liberated Learning High School pilot research project - and we are very excited to be invited to participate in this project. It deals with the use of assistive technology in the classroom. The study will be conducted in Tony Hadjisterkoti's History 10 class. The study should benefit any student having difficulty with notetaking, organization, processing information and study techniques.
