The American School for the Deaf congratulates The Learning Center on 50 years of excellence in the field of Deaf Education!

We congratulate, and celebrate, The Learning Center for the Deaf on its 50th Anniversary of dedication and commitment to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities of Massachusetts and beyond. We believe today, as we did 35 years ago when we first “arrived” to TLC, that access to high quality education, in an environment conducive to individual and group excellence, is worthy of everyone’s support. Quality education combined with personal development is at the core of TLC’s mission. We are proud to be even a small part of the traditions and values The Learning Center for the Deaf represents.

Here’s to the next 50 years.

-The Badavas Family

Over the past 50 years Margaret and I have been fortunate to consider ourselves friends and supporters of TLC. Thank you Warren and the other deaf education pioneers who had the courage to establish TLC! -Joe and Martha Finnegan
