Leesburg, FL, June 24, 2007 –(PR.com)– Beacon College, the only accredited 4-year education institution in the country for learning-disables students, will be chronicled on the The Profiles Series Wednesday, June 27, 2007 on cable networks nationwide.

The profile of our students may be dyslexic, students with math disabilities, students with language disorders—but what our students have in common is that they are college-able young adults who have average to above average IQs, and are intellectually capable of completing a college curriculum,” said Deborah Brodbeck, President of Beacon College.

The school addresses every detail of a student’s needs, from its specially designed living facilities, to strategies for comprehension and material retention. It utilizes unique learning approaches with successful results. At Beacon, students learn in a nurturing, yet realistically challenging environment tailor made for their individual needs. Students are welcomed at the college and develop confidence and attain academic achievements.

“I am particularly proud and satisfied to partner with Beacon College to highlight this wonderful college. Being a father myself, I know it’s a parent’s heartfelt need to give your child the best chances in life possible.” commented Wali Waiters, Executive Producer, The Profiles Series.

Beacon College was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) institution for higher learning on May 24, 1989. The college embraces students with learning disabilities by providing educational opportunities acknowledging individual learning differences.
