PLUS in Massachusetts


The PLUS Company of Massachusetts is the leading provider of programs and services for people with disabilities in the Lowell and Merrimack Valley Area. With offices in Tewksbury and Lawrence, the programs offered in this region provide a broad spectrum of services to meet the needs of those served. Individuals learn through hands-on experiences, training programs, job sites, and vocational, and community integration programs.  The goal is to ensure that those served by The PLUS Company have the opportunity to reach their full potential and become vital, productive members of their communities.

In addition to employment and training services, The PLUS Company of Massachusetts offers additional education and community-focused programming. The Community Integration Program, located in Lawrence, provides support, recreation, and education to adults with developmental disabilities through a variety of year round programs. Participants attend classes and activities led by instructors who ensure that all offerings maximize each individual’s ability to live, volunteer, learn, and socialize in the community. Some of the activities this group enjoys includes visiting local libraries to improve research and computer skills, creating artwork at Michael’s Crafts, fitness activities at the Lawrence YMCA, bowling, yoga, and ceramic classes.  Volunteer opportunities include participating in the Adopt-A-Park Program, sorting clothes at the Salvation Army and Lowell Wish, and bagging groceries at Neighbors in Need and the Lowell Food Pantry.

The Evening Education Program, funded primarily by grants and donations, is a unique whole-life education program for adults with developmental disabilities. The PLUS Company currently offers classes in Ceramics, Yoga, Jazz Dancing, and Healthy Relationship/Peer Group. Classes are offered in a 1-hour block on a rotating schedule for a minimal fee.  Certificates are presented following the conclusion of each class session. Individuals must provide their own transportation to and from these classes.
