METHUEN — A car burglary in the parking lot of the Greater Lawrence Educational Collaborative has hampered learning for at least 15 non-verbal students with disabilities. Several thousand dollars worth of special computer software that gives voices to people who can’t talk on their own, along with a laptop computer and other equipment was reported stolen from a staff member’s car Wednesday.
“Whoever did this can keep the computer,” said Bernice Pierce, a program director at the school at 464 Broadway. “Just give us back the software that allows them to communicate with their peers, teachers and family members. It’s no good to anyone else but these students,” Pierce said
