Victory Learning Center
Victory Learning Center: A one-of-a-kind program for dual-diagnosed children
Victory Learning Center programs offer specialized educational services for students who are diagnosed with Autism or a Cognitive Disability paired with a mental-health diagnosis. There are two separate sites conveniently located in Lackawanna, NY, servicing students ages 5-21 who are residentially placed or are referred through their local school district's Committee on Special Education.
Young people receive structured, individualized academia with up to six students with one teacher and three classroom staff members. We work to blend theories and practices of Applied Behavior Analysis, Restorative Practices and Sensory Integration to create a holistic, student-centered approach for teaching and supporting young people. Our unique cross-system program provides an elevated level of care by bridging the gap between treatment and education. Students enrolled thrive best within a high degree of structure, with individualized attention, and with supportive services.
