Ivy Street is a small nonprofit based in Brookline, Massachusetts that operates a year-round day and residential special education school serving public school students across the Northeast. The organization seeks to advance equity and access by offering two residential programs, a high school, and a post-secondary and transition program to help young people move toward greater independence. In addition, it runs a Skills for Life program that supports in-home skill development for young adults. Its framework draws on disability justice and centers a student-first approach delivered by a multidisciplinary team designed to reduce isolation and foster learning. Caregivers receive support through skill-building and healing resources so families can help their young people realize their goals. In April 2021, Ivy Street School formed a partnership with Boston University.
