ACC expects 62 students

The Jamestown Sun - 8/14/2019

Aug. 14--A quote by Dr. Anne Carlsen, " This is the most important for everyone to know: We must educate people to see the similarities, not the differences -- and to see the person, not the disability."

The Anne Carlsen Center is looking forward to another enjoyable and learning enhanced school year, as our staff works toward advanced technologies to expand academics and prepare for independence for our children. This year 62 students are expected to attend the Jamestown campus beginning Aug. 22. In today's classrooms, technology plays an integral role in leveling the playing field for all students. At Anne Carlsen, we believe that technology is the key to the success of the children and young adults we serve. We do that by exploring the newest and promising technologies, developing key partnerships with leaders in the field of assistive and educational technologies and implementing best practices. We believe today's technologies and innovative teaching practices can free our students from limitations and allow them to access their education, their world and their dreams. We continue to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School through success in implementing a 21st-century learning environment and shared leadership opportunities.

Education of the mind, body and soul is woven into all areas of daily living, supported by an array of sensory and language enriched experiences and materials which allow the children we serve the opportunity to express themselves and build their independence.

The Anne Carlsen Center has several donors, community and business partners and local volunteers who support the mission, operations and individuals served. Donors have committed ongoing support of the technology resources for the Center's faculty and staff, as well as students and young adults in our programs. Their support is crucial to the overall mission of the Center and its goal to provide quality programs and services. We thank you!
