House of Possibilities opens on Stonehill Campus in Easton

With cutbacks in state aid for many mental health services the opening of a new respite care facility in Easton is welcome news for many families who are caring for special needs children and young adults.

The Yawkey House of Possibilities is officially open at Stonehill College, giving parents and caregivers an opportunity to drop off their special needs child and use their free time to run errands or just relax.

According to Executive Director Paula Kavolius of Walpole there is nothing in the country like the new facility that is located on a college campus and offers individualized programs for these children.

Kavolius said students from Stonehill College would be volunteering their time at Yawkey House while outings to various locations on the campus will also be planned for program participants.

“It was a collaborative effort with Stonehill College,” Kavolius said. “They reached out to help us. We’re really the first of its kind on a college campus in the United States.”

Open Monday through Friday for youth and young adults over the age of 22 with special needs, Yawkey House offers care from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Transportation will be included. The integrated work and community inclusion program will strive to help participants gain greater independence.

Hello. My name is Lisa pierce I am a single mother of 3 boys, two with aspergers. In may-June of 2011 we had a family crisis, which involved some income loss. During this time and still to this day my oldest aspie son 12 yrs old has has several calls to e.m.t.s and trips to er. Also one hospitalization. I am now back on track but cannot catch up with two months rent owed to landlord to pay her mortage. I have gone every where to apply for assistance but have been turned down. I get advise from them, don't work, or don't work to many hours ( I work 20 a week) , don't pay your rent wait until landlord takes you to court, this is unacceptable options! I am a hard worker and didn't understand why I can get one time assistance. 
  I am determined to help my self , so I am holding yard sales every Sunday from 8/14, 8/21, 8/28, and 9/4.  I am also having a raffle that local businesses donated services to raffle off for my cause also once I do meet my goal I am going to donate the rest to aspergers asoc. And I could also split that as well to your foundation.  I am looking for some publicity, may be a donation of funds or an appearance or some things to sell from your foundation. I thank you for your time.
