Aspire Developmental Services

Aspire Developmental Services is a Lynn-based nonprofit that has supported young children and their families for more than 75 years. Its family-centered approach treats parents and caregivers as a child’s first and most important teachers. Its core program is Early Intervention, delivered mostly at home for young children, with goals set by each family and support delivered through parent coaching, education and links to community resources.

Beyond Early Intervention, Aspire runs an Early Education program offering play-based learning for infants through preschoolers in an inclusive setting. Its Early Support division provides prenatal support and home visiting for expecting and new families, and Aspire also lists a Parents as Teachers program. The Medically Complex Care Consultation program, known as MC3, helps families of children with complex medical needs navigate services and build coordinated care plans.
