Criterion Child Enrichment is a private, non-profit organization, that provides child development services and family services.
Founded in 1985, the office in Framingham serves the communities of Ashland, Dover, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick, Sherborn, Sudbury and Wayland. With 13 offices, the organization serves more than 4,000 families a year in the Commonwealth.
The Organization provides newborn services and early intervention services. The early intervention program assesses developmental needs and then provides educational and therapeutic strategies. Children from birth up until age 3 are eligible for these services. Team members, who may work with a family, include speech and language therapists, physical and occupational therapists, developmental specialists, psychologists and social workers.
The organization also provides educational and health screenings, developmental assessments, home visits, community groups and parent groups.
Families are not charged for early intervention services. Early Intervention programs are certified and funded, in part, by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
