In 2022, Learning Program Boston transitioned from the 3-21 Foundation to become part of the MDSC’s Center on Inclusive Education. The MDSC has been a leader in the field of inclusive education for many years. The Center on Inclusive Education is one of its four Centers of Excellence, offering resources and the most accurate and up-to-date information to support students with Down syndrome in school. We are excited that Learning Program Boston now has a platform to further expand its reach. Since 2012, the MDSC and the 3-21 Foundation have collaborated to develop best practices in educating students with Down syndrome. Our joint-programming has included educational workshops for parents, academic classes for school-aged children, webinars for educators and other educational-related offerings.
Registration opens in August each year and Learning Program Boston will track the academic calendar, beginning in September and running through May of the following year. Please contact the MDSC directly for more information and to register for this year’s program.
