The center operates a Special Education Day School and provides Early Intervention and Outpatient Rehabilitation Services, which include physical, occupational and speech and language therapies. It also has a certified Sensory Integration Dysfunction therapist on staff to evaluate and treat children diagnosed with autism.
“Our facility is the only independent, community-based provider of therapy and education for children in the New Bedford, Cape Cod and Islands region,” said Executive Director Mary M. Hodgson. “We serve more than 1,000 children each year.”
Located in Dartmouth, MA, the Schwartz Center also offers several specialty clinics which typically are available only in major metropolitan areas. The clinics are staffed by specialists in Orthotics and Prosthetics, Seating and Mobility, Physiatry, Genetics Testing and Counseling, and Communication Enhancement.
The Center also provides high quality training and technical assistance to early childhood and special needs educators in regional Early Intervention Programs as part of the state’s Regional Consultation Program.
