Abstract | Founded in 1967, The Lab School of Washington (LSW) has been educating students with learning disabilities using an arts-based curriculum for over 50 years. Sally Smith originally started the school out of frustration with the inability of traditional educational environments to reach her intelligent, but learning disabled, young son and others like him; children who were bright but seemingly could not learn to read, calculate, and were disorganized in their thinking. Today, Sally Smith's LSW is an internationally recognized model for teaching students with moderate to severe learning disabilities with campuses in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Maryland, and a replication in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Lab School infuses the arts into all aspects of the curriculum. The theoretical framework of the school is built on the belief that when taught in specific ways, the arts can assist students in developing "the neutral organizations they lack and need" to succeed within an educational setting.
