Mathematics Program
Beacon’s mathematics program provides students with learning differences the time and support needed to be successful in math. Through a semi-self-paced course of study combined with individual instruction, our faculty help students understand math concepts and figure out pathways to success. The computerized math programs benefit students by providing them with immediate feedback. It also assists students with memory deficits by allowing the repetition of material and providing continuous practice formats.

The Robert and Jane Weiner Writing Center
At the Robert and Jane Weiner Writing Center, you’ll develop critical thinking skills through a process-driven model necessary for the successful completion of college-level writing. Working closely with faculty members to understand their individual writing assignments, the Writing Center offers assistance and support for every phase of the writing process. Assistance is available through one-on-one consultations, as well as through the utilization of assistive reading and writing technology.
Apart from using the assistive technology capabilities of Microsoft Windows and the Office Suite, which are available to all students, you will be able to compensate for your learning difference by using two specialized programs that can be accessed through the Writing Center’s computers.
