About Us

Welcome to the CASE Collaborative,

Formed in 1974, the Concord Area Special Education (CASE) Collaborative serves students and teachers in our eleven member districts as well as many from outside the CASE region. CASE Collaborative brings together our school district partners, schools, faculty specialists, staff and families to create exceptional and individualized learning for all. Our focus is on creating and providing educational programs and services that help students to grow, develop, and achieve their potential as individuals.

We offer students and their families tailored approaches that foster the excellence, expertise, and creativity of a talented team of professionals in order to meet each student’s unique needs. We know that responding to the evolving needs of our school districts, students, and families means taking the time to care, to know them, to identify their needs, and to be resourceful, expert, innovative, and coordinated in our response. Caring, collaboration, and excellence are the foundation of all we do.

CASE programs epitomize the meaning of inclusion. Our highly individualized programs serve students from the ages of 3-22 in classrooms that are each housed in public schools within our member districts. Thus, we provide the opportunity for students who need highly specialized programs to receive their education in mainstream academic settings with access to both small self-contained classes and inclusion opportunities with grade level peers. Colebrook School, our approved public day school, provides an individualized setting while affording students the opportunity to take courses at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School.

Our educational program strands serve students with a variety of learning challenges including: developmental disabilities; multiple disabilities; medically fragile; social-communication; autism; social/emotional; and language based disabilities. We’re staffed with an exceptional group of teachers, therapists (OT, PT, Speech/Language), Nurses, Counselors, BCBAs, ABA Tutors, and Teaching Assistants.

Extended Year Services and Programming are available for those students who require them. Our summer programs are housed in a public school of one of our member districts and Colebrook High School in Acton.

Specialized transportation is another service we provide. CASE Transportation provides van services for approximately 400 students from our member districts covering nearly two and a half million miles a year. We have a fleet of over 75 vans, each equipped with GPS tracking and many with cameras, thus allowing us to closely monitor our vehicles to ensure student safety. Our team of drivers who have been carefully screened and are well trained, boast an exemplary safe driving record.

The CASE Assistive Technology Team provides state-of-the-art assistive technology services to CASE programs as well as any district MA that has a need for AT and AAC services. Within this service in the provision of consultation services, workshops, and evaluations for both member and non-member districts. 

CASE remains committed to continuing to evolve its programs and services in ways that support the work of our member districts.

Sincerely,

Sanchita Banerjee, Ed.M., C.A.G.S.

Executive Director
