Our Mission: To raise funds to provide the highest quality educational, social and recreational community experiences so students with special needs can reach their full potential.

Reality: Our special education population is on the rise. Tremendous national attention, but much of spotlight is on researching the cause Town, state and federal budgets do not have sufficient resources to provide necessary services and skills to these children now C.O.R.S.E. model can be adapted to communities throughout the nation as a model of how parents, educators & community members can collaborate to better serve this population

C.O.R.S.E. allocates funds for a wide range of supplemental resources that benefit children, parents and educators: –After-school integrated academic support programs –After-school integrated social skills development programs –Year-round All Stars sports programs –Two week socially-based summer camp –Specialty camps such as Therapeutic Horseback Riding, Lose the Training Wheels Bike Camp and Maritime Adventures through AccesSports –Supplemental student services such as music and art therapies, peer mentor programs, pre-vocational supports –Professional development programs for educators/staff –Educational programs for parents –Technology supports –Community events for families

FACT: The special needs population requires costly, more intensive services; it is the responsibility of parents and schools to find ways to provide these services. Through innovative collaboration with Scituate Public Schools, Scituate Recreation and other community organizations, we are able to: Fundraise for needed supplemental resources Develop customized programs to best meet student needs Offer programs that are more affordable than costly private

Our innovative programming and resources: Help integrate children with special needs and their families into their community Strengthen student, parent and educator skills Build student confidence and engagement in social, academic and recreational areas This programming can have a profound impact on those whose needs are greatest

Hunter starts talking about camp in March - how he is going to go to Scituate in August. He has found his niche there for the summer, and he knows who the kids are and the instructors. For the 30 minute ride home, he does not stop talking about what he did at camp. I dont know what I would do if he wouldnt be able to attend there for two weeks in August. He would be one miserable kid! --Hunters Mom

Zach never wants to leave home. However, every day he asked, Can I go to Seaside Explorers? This is huge for him. He is now willing to try other programs and camps. I have this program to thank. --Zachs Dad

Not only can 30 children now ride a two-wheeler who could not a week before, their self-confidence in themselves visibly beamed during that week. They can now engage in a typical childrens activity that is so important to childhood socialization and development. Parents watched from the sidelines with tears in their eyes and immense smiles on their faces, demonstrating the overwhelming pride and joy they felt for their kids. --Parent

The CORSE program has given me great hope and raised my level of expectation as to what programming like this can do for our kids when done right. --Parent
