RCS Learning Center is located on a quaint street with little traffic, across the street from a church. The center has many windows which let in plenty of light and a nice, well maintained, fenced in playground is available for the children. RCS Learning Center was designed to provide an educational environment for children with autism or other developmental disabilities. The school uses the applied behavior analysis principles in its teaching methods.
The Northshore Education Consortium serves more than 300 students of all grade levels in more than 17 member-school districts and 25 school districts throughout northeastern Massachusetts. The non-profit group provides programs for students who are developmentally disabled, experienced substance abuse or have emotional behavioral challenges. The consortium also provides students with developmental disabilities the opportunity to learn additional life skills following high school graduation.
