Customized Plans

One of the hallmarks of our Agency is a customized plan for each and every child. We tailor the child’s environment and assigned staff members to meet his/her individual needs. And we go the extra mile to ensure that he or she has every opportunity to learn and grow.

We do this because the children we serve have multiple disabilities, typically mental retardation and autism or another significant behavioral disorder. Some have rare developmental disorders. And many are medically frail.

School districts can’t effectively serve these children, which is why they turn to us. When children are referred to Mary Cariola, we work closely with the district and the family to create a thorough, personalized educational plan for each child. Our skilled and dedicated team of teachers, aides, nurses and clinicians ensures that the plan is followed throughout the year.

Raising a hand in the classroom. Giving a thumbs-up in music therapy. Even a simple smile. These are magical moments for families and staff alike and often the result of weeks or months of personal encouragement and professional expertise.

Nearly 550 children attend one of our three schools each day. Because of our personalized assessment plans, we’re able to unlock the magic of how these individuals learn—and they’re able to discover their full potential.
