Welcome to the Monarch School of New England

We are a day school that serves children with severe disabilities, from the ages of 5 to 21. Our programs are based on an individual’s needs and capabilities ~ what they can do, not what they can’t do. Learn about the children we serve.

A Student/Teacher Relationship

Alex and Diane: Alex is a gentle, 10 year old boy who is a very sensory-seeking child.  Comforted by touch, it is sound and loud noises that challenge him. Diane McManus is Alex’s teacher.  For 6 years, she has been part of the interdisciplinary team of educators, therapists and education technicians that work with him at the school.
