Narrative

Riverside Family Support Center offers a wide menu of supports for children and adults with developmental disabilities living with their families.

Services:

  • Enrichment Programs: We foster community through skill-based Enrichment programs and events developing strong social ties and improving life skills.
  • Support Services: We help our families in navigating resources to help their loved ones access the support they need.
  • Autism/Transition Services: We offer a wide range of services for people with Autism and for young adults transitioning into adulthood.

We are funded by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS). This enables us to give additional services to families that are DDS eligible in the Central Middlesex Area. The cities served include Acton, Arlington, Bedford, Boxborough, Burlington, Carlisle, Concord, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Maynard, Stow, Wilmington, Winchester, and Woburn.
