LABBB Transition Services and Business Partners
We want to invite all of the LABBB Community to the LABBB High School and Transition Services Open House. Come by and mingle with the LABBB community and staff from our high school programs. This is a great opportunity to network and visit with your son or daughter's classroom staff and the site instructors who work with them at our wide array of community business partnerships.

All LABBB Parents from Elementary through Middle School are Welcome to Attend!

This is a great opportunity to meet our LABBB high school teams, learn more about what our high school programs have to offer, and network with parents whose children have made the transition into high school. We want LABBB to be a resource for you to connect with other parents and also increase your awareness of what you should be thinking about for your son or daughter's future. Please consider attending the talk by the 3 agencies as this is a resource that will be very important for you in the future.

LABBB Partners Attending

Best Buddies and PALS:
Chapter representatives will be at our open house to talk about their relationship with the LABBB program and our students.

Middlesex Community College ICEI Program:  Dawn Gross, ICEI Program Coordinator from Middlesex Community College, will be there to talk about our Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Program at Middlesex Community College. Students have the opportunity to attend Middlesex Community College with an educational coach. 

Amplifi (Adaptive Music Program): Amplifi is part of the Real School of Music in Burlington and they provide music classes for many of our classrooms. Amplifi has a unique approach to teaching music to students with special needs. Many of our students have also attended their adaptive music classes in the evenings. LABBB is also collaborating with Amplifi to offer after-school music programs.

TILL (Towards Independent Living and Learning): LABBB and TILL have embarked on a few initiatives in the past year. We believe this partnership can bridge the gap between pre and post 22. This past spring, LABBB students joined TILL on a trip to Ireland. LABBB and TILL are exploring the possibility of creating group home opportunities for our students. TILL currently has over 55 group homes and a very comprehensive recreation program called Springboard.
