Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Being a parent is a joyful, rewarding experience. At times, it can also be the most difficult and stressful job there is. You probably have a lot to do every day to meet your child's needs. And caring for a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder makes parenting that much more challenging. Between managing your child's medications, coordinating their education plans, and scheduling their healthcare appointments, there's hardly any time left to simply be a parent and spend time with your child.

In order to help make caring for your family—and for yourself—a bit easier, we have compiled this section of useful information and resources on how to best support and advocate for your child with special needs.

This information is provided in part by the Division for Children & Youth with Special Health Needs within the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and mass.gov.
