(IRL) is a multi-service, community-based Special Education, mental
health, job development, and training facility for special needs
children, students, and adults. IRL began in 1974 when its founder,
Nancy J. Lavelle, Ph.D., created the Almansor Education Center
located in a church on Almansor Street in Alhambra, California.
With the belief that every student has the ability to “take charge”
of their own learning process, Dr. Lavelle established a unique
environment and individualized curriculum and created appropriate
support and enrichment services designed to turn student and client
learning failures into learning successes. Now over forty years
later, the Institute for the Redesign of Learning offers six
programs designed to provide a continuum of care for individuals
with Special Needs, ages infants through adults, serving children,
students, and clients throughout the greater Los Angeles and San
Gabriel Valley communities. The Institute for the Redesign of
Learning is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate
