About Co Op

WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

Established in 1972, CO-OP has undergone many changes – most notably the growth and development of wide-ranging new programs and services to address the needs of local citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities and brain injuries. Throughout all of these changes, we have relied on the support of our many local partners and resources to help fulfill the agency’s goal of full community inclusion for all of us.

Today, CO-OP serves adults and transition-age students through a diverse menu of programs and clinical services, including residential and employment supports and a variety of day program activities. All of our services build upon individual strengths, interests, and cultural experiences – and enhance skills that help promote community participation.

Support Cooperative Production

CO-OP relies on the support of families, friends, and countless others to help provide person-centered, quality services to hundreds of individuals with disabilities every day. Your unrestricted gifts, memorial contributions, and your generous participation in our fundraising efforts directly benefit the people we serve.

What We Do

CO-OP’s day and residential programs are person-centered, embracing the vision, interests, and support needs of each individual as valued members of the community. Services are generally available to adults and transition-aged high school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities and brain injuries. CO-OP’s funding partners include Mass Health, the Department of Developmental Services, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, other state agencies, and local school systems.

All agency programs provide access to a wide range of clinical resources, including nursing and healthcare services, occupational, physical, and speech therapies; counseling and behavioral support; and assistive technology to help ensure the greatest level of personal fulfillment and community participation possible.
