John F Murphy Homes (JFM)

The margaret Murphy centers for children (mmcc) are special purpose private schools that operate under the purview of the Maine department of education. Mmcc provides clinical and educational services to students, aged 18 months to 20 years, with a host of special education needs. These needs include autism, developmental disabilities, emotional disorders and behavioral impairments. Students are placed at mmcc by more than 35 school districts and child development service sites in Maine. Schools refer students to mmcc to access highly specialized services that cannot be otherwise provided by the sending school district. Mmcc provides services identified within the science of applied behavior analysis, and is the largest provider of such services within the state.

Jfm is the largest provider in the state of Maine for day programming services for adults with autism and behavioral needs. These community-based centers are dedicated to help our members acquire greater independence through increasing competence in personal, social, and employment related abilities. We also offer employment services and job coaching for individual who are able and willing to work in the community. Our community membership program helps our members better socially integrate into the various community activities offered by our cities and towns.
