Actionable Innovations Global is a professional learning community where participants explore innovation in education. We meet on a regular basis to discuss trends in education and invite inspiring guests to join us and share their work. Parents, educators, students, and others interested in improving teaching and learning are always welcome.

Our Actionable Innovations Conversation on August 18th will feature Dr. Adam R. Lalor, Vice President of Neurodiversity Research and Innovation at Vermont’s Landmark College. Landmark College is a community designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges. Dr. Lalor will share information about Landmark’s programs for neurodiverse learners as well as its research efforts. He will be joined by a group of Landmark students and alumni who have worked on research projects at Landmark. 

Dr. Lalor received his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Connecticut. With more than 15 years of experience in higher education administration, his research focuses on the postsecondary transition and success of college students with disabilities. Broadly, Dr. Lalor focuses on raising awareness of postsecondary opportunities for individuals with disabilities and including disability within the discourse of diversity. He presently serves on the editorial boards of Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals and the Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability.  The author of numerous articles and book chapters, Dr. Lalor co-authored the book From Disability to Diversity: College Success for Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
