Narrative

MAB created its first residential programs in the early 1970s to meet the specialized needs of people with developmental disabilities (DD) 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. Staff works with the people we serve and their families to support their vocational and recreational goals. We create a setting for ongoing learning and exploration.

MAB staff also provide one-on-one supports for people living independently in the community. Case managers assist them with health care management, personal safety, landlord/tenant relations and money management. Supports are designed to ensure people keep their independence.
