Kennedy-Donovan Center

Kennedy-Donovan Center, Inc. (KDC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1969 on the principle that all individuals have the right to participate and thrive in their community. Kennedy-Donovan Center supports people with developmental delays, disabilities or family challenges to pursue their personal potential and success in the community. We fulfill our mission through a number of programs, which we offer in several regions: Early Intervention (EI), Early Intervention Partnerships, Healthy Families, KDC School (a 240-day developmental day school), Day Habilitation Services, Family Support Services/ Respite Care, Intensive Foster Care, and Transitional Job Support, as well as various residential support programs: Shared Living, Adult Family Care, Supported and Supervised Living, and Individual Support. Each year, our diverse and dedicated staff of 600+ employees and 300 respite home care providers and foster parents, serves over 10,000 children, adults and families with (or at risk for) developmental disabilities or delays, and their families. We meet the needs of disabled individuals and their families throughout their life – from pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, into adulthood and the senior years. We operate a range of programs, including many in-home services, from eight community offices and 10 residences, to families in 160 communities across eastern and south central Massachusetts. We cover over 50% of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
