Service-learning placements in a course on developmental disabilities

Middlesex Community College - MA, Massachusetts

At Middlesex Community College, Dr. Donna Duffy teaches a class on developmental disabilities which places students in a host of service-learning placements. Students in the class take part in activities like shadowing a vision teacher at a nearby association for the blind, reading the daily news on a radio station for the blind, and assisting physically disabled children with therapeutic horseback riding.
