Kids In Disability Sports, Inc.
Kids in Disability Sports, Inc. ("K.I.D.S.") has been enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities for twenty six years through sports and recreation. Our members grow in confidence and ability while participating in our programs. We utilize various types of recreational therapies and work in partnership with other organizations to build these opportunities. Members of K.I.D.S. establish life-long friendships and parents have the added benefit of contact with other families. We all work together to build a caring community based on trust and support. Sports and recreation bring satisfaction and enjoyment to individuals with disabilities, and our goal is to provide a safe environment in which our members can perform to the best of their abilities, while enjoying the same opportunities as everyone else.
After 27 years, we are still "kids at heart"!

ADULT FOSTER CARE of the NORTH SHORE
is a MassHealth program that places adults with disabilities in private homes where the home caregiver receives payment. A family member (other than spouse) may be a home care provider. Our clients have a wide range of disabilities from very mild to severe, and ADULT FOSTER CARE works with caregivers to find the right client for the home. The client must have a daily personal care need. Adult Foster Care is part of a growing, exciting statewide program in Massachusetts. The focus is to keep adults with disabilities in the community instead of an institution. Our team of professionals works with clients and caregivers to ensure a stable, healthy placement. We are available and welcome inquiries.
