Saturday Respite Program

The Saturday Respite program services participants ages 4 to 14 years old. This program is divided into 8 week sessions throughout the academic school year, running from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. It is designed to provide structure and routine for students on weekends. Staffing includes a program leader and support staff. If 1:1 care is needed, this is available for an additional cost. A variety of on-site leisure activities are provided as well as occasional field trips. The program is designed to foster social skills and transferable functional academic skills, through participation in multi-sensory activities, which include crafts, games, gardening, cooking, outdoor activities and more! In the past, students have enjoyed field trips to Great Brook Farm, the recreational gym, and bowling!
