I "The project," described by Executive Director Glenn B. Robinson, "is to be long plan ned for education building designed to meet special needs in working with emo tionally disturbed children and their families." He said the facility will also be used for the Center's extended ser vices. Telling the need for the Learning Center, Program ui reclor Carol Jane Bryant said that cottage space now being utilized for make-shift class rooms could be reverted to house additional children who are waiting for admission. She called present temporary ar rangements for classrooms "inadequate in space and de sign for teaching emotionally disturbed children." According to Mrs. Bryant, most of the children at the Center are not able to cope with public school classrooms, and many have been either suspended or excluded or face that prospect. These children typically are triggered into explosive activity by close contact with other children," Mrs. Bryant said. According to Robinson, the unique and educational pro blems require the new build ing be designed to withstand heavy use and provide for child and worker safety, noise buffering and continuous, close observation in each area. "We need more room," Robinson added, "to allow us to provide a wide range of activities to occur at the same time." He said there is a great variance in learning levels at the center. Robinson said there is great enthusiasm among the child ren, and Mrs. Bryant asked each child to be a "junior architect" and give ideas for their new school "borne oi the responses allowed a great deal of insight," Robinson said, "for several children asked for carpeted areas wh«»r«< groups could sit on the floor." According to Robinson one boy was concerned that the teachers have a quiet place to relax, and another said, that kids sometimes need an office too As for the latter sugges tion, Robinson noted that a number of individual study booths are in the plans Alexander Children's Cen ter receives income from tui tion. outright. gifts, endow ment. and grants from other agencies.
