Narrative

The Learning Center is a therapeutic educational program located in a public school setting. Students may have emotional impairments and/ or specific learning disabilities.

The Learning Center emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach. We provide clinical consultation, ongoing counseling, behavioral programming, and instruction in social settings. We focus on academic achievement. The program curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Common Core Standards. Accommodations tailored on an individual basis to assist each student in accessing the curriculum.

The goals of the program include:

  • reintegration into the mainstream
  • a return to a community high school
