Children and Youth with Disabilities

At Stavros, we want to make sure that children and youth with disabilities have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Getting the Best Health Care and Supports

Many children with disabilities don’t have the supports they need at home to be healthy and safe. We work closely with families to make sure that their children get the best home care and supports available.

Getting the Best Education

Many parents are frustrated by the lack of resources and opportunities for children with disabilities. We work with families to ensure that their kids’ Individual Education Plans (IEPs) reflect what they need to grow.

We provide a variety of services and supports through three different programs.

The Transition to Adulthood Program

The Transition to Adulthood Program (TAP)  is for young people with disabilities (14 to  their 22nd birthday) who are still in high school. TAP is here to help you figure out the future--your future--in a way that feels the most comfortable to you. We will go at your pace and support you in your preparation for adulthood. Our aim is to empower you to make your own decisions about how you want to create your life. You can build it, and we can help! This program is funded by the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission.
