Welcome to Kevin O’Grady School

“Every student. Every day. Whatever it takes.” That’s the motto of the Kevin O’Grady School, which serves students ages 3 – 22 with moderate to severe special needs.

Staff work to ensure the success of all students in the face of significant challenges. At the heart of the program is a committed multi-disciplinary staff of professionals focused on creating positive learning opportunities for all students and their families or caregivers.

Students enjoy leisure and fitness opportunities, which are not readily available to them in the community — indoor and outdoor exercise, art, music. Community celebrations bring together staff, students and families, including holiday craft sales and karaoke in the fall and winter, and Art on the Hill and the Walk & Roll pledge walk in the spring.

Classrooms are equipped with the latest in technology, including iPads, computers, special learning apps, communication devices and adaptive technology to meet all student’s needs.

All programs follow the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks & Common Core Standards.

Students ages 3 to 22 with moderate or severe special needs, including complex medical needs, physical disabilities, multiple disabilities, visual or hearing impairment, autism, and intellectual disabilities. We have the capacity to meet the needs of students who are medically fragile and those with severe behaviors.

The staff of the Kevin O’Grady School believes that team collaboration is essential to maximize each student’s level of independence, development of functional life skills and academic achievement. Various services and therapies are integrated within the classroom setting, offering a more intensive model of support and intervention.
