Students from the Beacon College in Florida met pupils of the Albert-Gutzmann-School in Berlin. The Beacon College is the only accredited college offering BA and AA degrees exclusively for students with learning disabilities ADHD, or gifted LD.
They learn in very small groups and... "we learn how to learn", is their motto. Beacon College is building up the students self-confidence again. Pupils of the Albert-Gutzmann-School and Beacon College spoke via internet about their experiences.
The Students at the Beacon College are all trying together with the help of their teachers to make the best of their talents, in order to be able to finish their studies, in order to be able to get a good job and to help others to help themselves.
