We are proud to welcome our newest partners at Fall River Public Schools and Holliston Public Schools.
With the assistance of Walker Partnerships, Fall River Public Schools has established a new middle school therapeutic day program. Walker Partnerships will provide a social worker/case manager and a behavioral specialist, along with professional development services and psychiatric consultation. Under the leadership of Joyce Blackburn, Executive Director of Special Education and Student Services, this initiative will provide a quality education in a safe and therapeutic learning environment to approximately 25 students in grades 6 – 8. This new middle school program is specifically designed to offer a therapeutic education program that will successfully return middle-school-aged students to the district and reduce out-of-district placement.
Holliston Public Schools has contracted with Walker Partnerships for a .8 social worker/case manager for assignment to an elementary school therapeutic program. This in-district program is in place to provide a therapeutic educational setting that enables elementary age students to receive the necessary supports while having the opportunity to experience appropriate inclusionary academic opportunities
