This Guide will tell you about different kinds of services to help you as a parent and help your child if they need extra support.
If the services are part of a system like the education or health system, the people there will help you get the services. But sometimes you may need to find some on your own. Or get help managing those systems!
You can search for all different kinds of services and support in our Resource Directory.
Put in your zip code, mark the service you are looking for, and find the ones near you. (Search for one at a time!) You can also search only for service providers that accept MassHealth (Medicaid).

-
Therapists (Speech, behavioral, occupational, etc.)
