REACH Early Intervention
REACH, an early intervention program, provides special services to families with
children between birth and three years of age who have, or are at risk for, developmental
delays. The REACH program assists parents in understanding the developmental needs
of young children, and in learning ways to help their children grow. The program
includes Autism Specialty Services, an intensive treatment program for families
that have children with autism spectrum disorders. Our staff includes experienced
developmental specialists: educators, nurses, nutritionists, occupational and
physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, social workers, and autism
specialists. Services are funded through private insurance, Medicaid, the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health, the Hampshire Community United Way, and an annual
participation fee from families.
REACH provides early intervention and autism
specialty services throughout the Hampshire, Franklin and North Quabbin
and Hampden Communities, with offices in Northampton, Greenfield, and Orange.
