  • Crisis and Transition Services: Up to six months for an immediate crisis. Transitional services are available when appropriate alternative placements are not.

  • Consultation and Training: We offer training and consultation on a wide array of topics related to the developmental disabilities.
  • Laura Baker Services is dedicated to dispelling the myths about people with developmental disabilities. We recognize the similarities among us all, and strive to support our clients in the least intrusive way possible. We specialize in serving people others have labeled as “difficult to serve”. We have a special program to serve people with Prader Willi Syndrome.

    Laura Baker laid the foundation for our work in 1897 when she located her residential program for people with developmental disabilities in Northfield. Her vision was clear: she saw a future that included more opportunities, education and normal and productive lives for the people she supported. Her vision has been sustained for over 100 years be dedicated professionals who emulated her progressive spirit and her commitment to the service of others.
