The Learning Center for the Deaf
The Learning Center for the Deaf (TLC) is a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children located in Framingham, Massachusetts. TLC offers a challenging program of academic excellence for deaf students from infancy through high school. The Learning Center's curriculum fosters knowledge and respect for both American Sign Language (ASL) and English, and for American Deaf and hearing cultures.
==History==
Established in 1970 as The Learning Center for Deaf Children, The Learning Center was the first school for the deaf in Massachusetts to depart from the "oral method" of education and to advocate the use of signs in addition to spoken English. During the 1970s the school created a student-centered curriculum with "open classroom" formats. An initial enrollment of 22 students quickly grew and the school expanded: in 1974 with the addition of a preschool program, in 1978 with the establishment of a special needs program for deaf children who have cognitive or behavior disabilities, and in 1979 with the addition of a parent-infant program, one of the first programs to provide deaf infants exposure to signs in addition to spoken English and to offer parents instruction in the use of signs. A high school began in 1980 and a group residence for high school students began the following year. In 1987, The Learning Center opened "Walden House", a comprehensive residential treatment program for deaf youth between the ages of 8 and 21 years who are challenged by severe social and emotional difficulties. A new facility for these students was completed and occupied in December 1995 with a capacity of 30 students and is now called Walden School. In 1994, The Learning Center opened a satellite campus (preschool–elementary program) in Randolph, Massachusetts. In July 2011, after seventeen years, this campus closed and services were consolidated on the main campus. On July 1, 2007, the school legally changed its name to The Learning Center for the Deaf.
