About EnhancEd Support Services

The EnhancEd Support Services program provides the foundation for children to learn, socialize, and play alongside their typically developing peers.

Through an inclusive integrated environment, EnhancEd offers services by trained professionals that meet the needs of all children. EnhancEd is a Kids Connect program that is regulated by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services in Rhode Island. The EnhancEd program provides strategies and interventions to support children enrolled in the EnhancEd program.

Children enrolled in a EnhancEd program are in classrooms with a Therapeutic Integration Specialist who is trained and monitored by a licensed Clinician. Each EnhancEd classroom has an additional staff member to provide a lower staff to child ratio. Therapeutic classrooms are designed to provide all team members advanced skills and techniques.
