As a board member for ten years, I have always been extremely impressed with the administration, staff, and the commitment to being responsive to the needs of the individuals served. The May Institute is a shining light for individuals with autism and related disabilities.

I have spent my career working as an administrator at special education schools for children with autism, and I am proud of the work being done at the May Center schools. We have some of the most compassionate, caring and dedicated staff I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Our program, educational, and clinical leaders are strong and committed to providing the services these kids need and deserve.

The Chatham School at 100 Seaview St was sold in Sep 2005 for $5,600,000 with a mortgage of $4,480,000 (80%). But the buyer was able to obtain an additional financing in Jun 06 for an additional $3,000,000. So how much was the property really worth?

I have only heard and read great things that The May Institute has been able to accomplish with autistic children. For this they deserve 5 stars.
But, like others have commented, is it truly necessary to be paying upper management these kinds of salaries? Based on the longevity of most of them, I would find it hard to believe that there aren’t other benefits that aren’t shown in the report. How many of them will have golden parachutes when they retire? Who pays for the CEO to fly back and forth? How many have company vehicles?

Their money goes to projects of the ceo like a pool instead of doing whats right for the kids. Mr. donor check your facts, your money goes to the ceo living in georgia. Mr. board member, you should find out what really goes on. Department of education and Department of disability services are sending their people to other companies. We need more unions for our staff.

This organization continues to decline. Additional senior people have left the company in the past year. Most telling is the Mass. Dept. of Education removing their school approval and placing them on probationary status due to not even coming close to meeting proper standards. The situation in their residences is even worse. A very sad state of affairs.

I am proud to be a major donor to May Institute. The commitment to excellence by the staff, and the quality of care they provide, is truly remarkable. I would not hesitate to recommend this organization to anyone seeking the best in behavioral healthcare services for a loved one, or seeking to support an organization that raises the bar on delivering great programs and services.

The only time somebody writes something good is when somebody else writes something negative. Probably Mrs. Howard and her P.R. staff are doing it.

I've worked for May Institute for close to 10 years, and in the nonprofit world for more than 20 years. I have been consistently impressed with the true commitment to care for people served there, from very young children to seniors. You can walk into any group home, school, clinic, or day program and see skilled, dedicated staff doing their jobs effectively and with respect. I'm proud to be associated with a place that provides this level of care.
