Narrative

The Cambridge Program for Individuals with Special Needs is open to Cambridge residents with intellectual disabilities (ID) who are 11 years old and older. The program offers recreational activities and life skills several times a week. Programs are designed to promote self-esteem, encourage social interaction, and increase physical well-being. The main focus is on understanding our differences. In addition to activities, participants enjoy a variety of field trips and many compete in the Massachusetts Special Olympics. 

The Cambridge Program runs during the school year, September - June.
