The Institute for the Redesign of Learning, founded in 1974, operates the Almansor Center and Westmoreland Academy to deliver a continuum of specialized education and support services for individuals with special needs across the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley. Their programs—ranging from early childhood education and community outreach to non‑public special‑education day schools, mental‑health services, and transition/employment support—serve over 3,700 children, students, and clients each year. The Institute’s distinctive approach centers on empowering students to take charge of their own learning through a flexible curriculum, student‑led pedagogy, and integrated support that blends academic, social, and life‑skills training. By fostering collaboration among families, professionals, and community partners, the organization has sustained a four‑decade legacy of empowering special‑needs learners to become competent, caring, and contributing members of society.
