Northeastern University’s learning disability program ensures a regimented schedule of dynamic and intensive tutorials on top of courses. The school also emphasizes individual student attention.

Northeastern University School of Law professor Daniel Medwed said the Dein and Woodlock rulings are noteworthy. “It’s incredibly striking to have seasoned, reasonable judges say that ‘I have never seen this’ and go so far as to put it in a public document,” he said. “It does suggest where there is smoke there is fire.”
