Program Overview:
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE/DDS) Program is designed to provide in-home and community based therapeutic supports to students ages 6 to 22, who demonstrate a need for services to prevent residential placement. This Program also offers an increased level of support services to families whose student returns from a residential school placement and requires assistance to remain at home.
We urge all families who meet this criteria to fill out an Interest Form and mail it back between May 7 - May 31st. This program provides critical supports to families in need. If you have any questions about the program, please do not hesitate to call our office: 508-652-9900 or email.
