Support for kids with disabilities: Health and wellness, successful relationships, school AT evaluations and personal goals.

UCP of Western MA offers a wide variety of programs designed to support children of all ages with their developmental needs to help grow and learn more independently. We support the entire family so they understand the complex needs of their children. Some of our children with complex medical needs have been referred to us through our collaborative partnerships with Boston Children’s, Baystate Medical Center, Berkshire Medical Center, Shriner’s Hospital and local pediatricians upon discharge. Our clinicians follow the guidelines of their medical staff when providing follow up care at home.
