Learning disabled college writers may not have traditional academic skills, but they still have strengths that can be nurtured in the composition classroom. This thesis attempts to make composition scholars aware of a pedagogy geared to the strengths of learning disabled students--a pedagogy which could ultimately provide a more inclusive classroom space. One way to assess the potential benefits of inclusive teaching methods is to examine an institution that has successfully taught generations of learning disabled college students. Landmark College in Putney, Vermont, solely accepts learning disabled students. The teaching methods and assistive technology utilized in the Landmark composition classroom are valuable examples for interested composition scholars.
