We help children, students, and adults with unique needs achieve maximum independence for a great life in the community.

Since 1953, Crotched Mountain Foundation, one of New England’s most iconic non-profit organizations, has worked towards one goal: helping children, students, and adults with disabilities achieve maximum independence to live a great life in the community.

Our programs include day and residential education at Crotched Mountain School on our beautiful campus in Greenfield, NH, autism services for young children at Ready Set Connect, accessible sports and recreation, and community-based case management services for seniors and adults with unique needs throughout New Hampshire.

Crotched Mountain’s impact reaches throughout New Hampshire, New England, and the nation. And regardless of the service or the geography, all of our services are tied together by a core belief: every person has unique goals and we will bring our expertise and resources to bear in pursuit of those summits.
