I found this in the comments of an The Economist article:
Quote:
Landmark College
www.landmark.edu has long embraced individual difference as a fundamental aspect of its mission. I am a staff founder of this first college in the world exclusively for students with SLD, ADHD, and ASD. The creativity inherent in these different ways of learning has long been recognized as an asset in industry, but too often the literacy and other skills necessary to be successful in business were out of reach of individuals with diagnoses. Landmark supports people who think and learn differently in discovering how to navigate the "neuro-typical" environment of the academic and business worlds and become confident, self-aware, and self-advocating contributors. It is one of the most meaningful, transformative colleges on the planet. I greatly appreciate this forward-thinking article! Regards, Brent Betit, Ed.D., SVP
Has anyone figured out HOW they actually differ in learing methods?
Edit: I found some hints,

What is meant with "Constructivist" ?
In
Universal Design: Guiding Principles, Research, and Practice they mention "active reading"?
