Catholic Charities’ Developmental Disabilities Services provide opportunities for a fulfilling future to individuals with developmental disabilities. Our programs are here to support them and their families and caretakers. We believe in the potential and talent of each person to contribute to and participate in their community. Our programs are a reflection of that belief.

Kennedy School		The Kennedy School is a non-public day school offering personalized academic, therapeutic and vocational classes for children ages 6 – 22 with disabilities. We specialize in serving students with Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Emotional Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, and Traumatic Brain Injuries. We utilize a small classroom, team-based approach, where we have no more than seven students per class and no less than three staff members per class. We support our students holistically, through behavioral and social emotional counseling, serious academic intervention focusing on Mathematics, internships that focus on employment skills, and physical education.
Early Childhood Development and Intervention Programs		The programs allow infants, toddlers and preschoolers to develop positive self-esteem, learn early readiness skills, and develop self-care habits all in a group setting. Our range of services help families address the challenges children with special needs may face while also ensuring Kindergarten readiness for all children.
