LEARNING
ASSISTANCE CENTRE
The Learning Assistance Centre program of the
Winnipeg School Division is a Special Education Program for
children who have been diagnosed as having severe behavioural
problems and/or emotional disturbances. The Rockwood L.A.C.
program provides a classroom for children ages 7-11 years and has
staff-child ratio (1:3.5) for a maximum of seven students. The
program also includes a resource/treatment support component. The
overall goal of the program is to assist the child to develop
appropriate constructive social/interpersonal behaviour, self
confidence and academic competency in order to return to the home
school and an educational program as close as possible to the
mainstream.
