League School for Autism received a wonderful thank you note from Lisa-Marie, who coordinates the Paralegal Training (PLAT) Program. In the note, she referenced Vocational Job Coach, Laina, and the incredible work she does with our students.

League School first began the PLAT Program with our student, Zuly, in February of 2024. Zuly worked in the Norfolk County Superior Courthouse one day per week. Following her time in the courthouse, where she was allowed to review evidence books, meet with the judge, and learn about the different roles in court proceedings, she completed the program. Zuly has since been accepted into an internship program at the Dedham Police Department.

Lisa Marie has been an amazing partner, working tirelessly to find opportunities to support our students. She has opened up new worlds for our students. We're thrilled to announce that another League School student, Xander, starts his 1 year internship this week in the same courthouse program.

MA SPED SUMMIT: SESSION SPOTLIGHT
Executive function skills—such as planning, organizing, and self-regulation—are critical for student success, but often vary widely across learners. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offers a powerful framework to design environments and instruction that support the development of these skills for all students. Niel Albero will show how to design learning environments that normalize variability in executive function skills and ensure all students have access to the tools and supports they need to succeed.

Act now! Only 7 days remain until the MA SPED Summit takes place at the Sheraton Boston Needham Hotel. Doors open at 8:00 AM on March 7th. TO REGISTER, visit whova.com/web/9O7kAFIjwRC9t5V3gqR7G1YcVpHpn1o5JaSiu5Ru2MQ%3D/
