What We Do

Latham Centers is a leader in special education and residential programs for children and adults with disabilities. Latham employs more than 250 people on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts. Our programs include a therapeutic residential school for students ages 8 to 22, and a residential program for adults including 11 homes and individualized supported community living settings. Founded in 1970, Latham Centers creates brighter futures for children and adults with complex special needs, including Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Latham is internationally renowned for our expertise and success in working with individuals with PWS, a rare genetic disorder with no known cure.
