We are committed to giving a voice to the Portuguese Speaking Communities in Massachusetts with a loved one with Special Needs seeking help in education, healthcare, and access to safety net programs.
PAIS is a non-profit organization founded by two minority women, each with extensive experience in caring for their own special needs children and assisting our community in accessing services for their loved ones for over 10 years.
This organization emerged in response to our clients’ need for assistance from individuals who speak their language and provide personalized support.
We are committed to collaboration and community involvement to help simplify access to a complex system.

Our support group for parents of children with special needs is open to Portuguese speaking families

We are here to provide assistance from early intervention to adult services and everything in between.

Volunteer for a great cause, whether you speak Portuguese or not you can make a great impact in someone’s life!
By leaving us your testimonial you can ensure that our organization will continue to receive funds from generous donors and sponsors so we can better assist the needs of the community.
