Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) Program: We collaborate with DESE and DDS for DDS-eligible students aged 6-21 who are at risk of a future residential placement. We provide wraparound services that include in-home supports such as therapists and skills trainers, a service navigator to identify and hire staff, life-long skills development, and opportunities to practice skill building, independence, and social integration in their home and community.
For more information, please contact the Autism Resource Center at autismresourcecenter@arcsouthshore.org.
You can also visit Mass.gov for more details and DESE/DDS Frequently Asked Questions.
