innovation & excellence

Latham Centers offers quality and compassionate residential programs for children and adults with complex special needs, including Prader-Willi syndrome, on Cape Cod and beyond.

"Latham provides the opportunity and possibilities we promised our daughter we would find for her—a safe school environment, a sense of belonging, and access to a caring community. It is hard to have her literally at the other end of the country; however, we have no regrets for the journey our family has charted because we have found the best PWS care for our daughter.
