Narrative

MAB created its first residential programs in the early 1970s to meet the specialized needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and blindness who were leaving state institutions for more appropriate community-based living. Today blindness is not a prerequisite for services, and we have expanded our expertise to include brain injury and the health needs of the elderly. Our 4 and 5-bedroom community residences are located across Greater Boston. All homes are handicap accessible and managed by trained and caring staff who work with the people we serve and their families to support their vocational and recreational goals and create an environment for ongoing learning and exploration.

MAB staff also provide individual supports for individuals living independently in the community. Case managers assist individuals with health care management, personal safety, landlord/tenant relations and money management. Supports are designed to ensure individuals maintain their independence.
