BCCS currently works with students ages 3-21 with severe multiple disabilities from over 30 school districts throughout the greater Boston area. We provide educational, therapeutic and healthcare services utilizing a dtrans disciplianary approach to maximize student growth and developement. Students who attend the program are funded by their school districts who pay a state regulated tuition to our program.
Impact Statement
EagleEyes: EagleEyes is an assistive technology that allows an individual who is physically challenged and unable to speak to directly control a computer through eye gaze or head control. This technology provides access to communication, education and recreation activities. The camera mouse technology is a free software download from the internet and currently averages 15,000 downloads per month from individuals from all over the world. Our EagleEyes Coordinator works with individuals here at BCCS as well as travelling nationally and internationally to assist individuals and organizations interested in using this technology.
Equal Education Opportunities
Despite the significant challenges that Campus School students must overcome, they are capable of change, growth and progress. Through the use of highly specialized instructional materials and equipment students who might otherwise have limited educational opportunities are able to actively engage in learning and have equal education opportunities.
Boston College Undergraduate & Graduate Students
Many Boston College undergraduate & graduate students are involved at the Campus School. The BC students assist in all aspects of the program in carrying out services to BCCS students. The BC students often referred to their involvement at BCCS as a "life altering experience." The BC students have decided on careers in education, law and medicine with a focus on assisting those with disabilities as a result of their experience with us.
Goals
Responsive Services:
BCCS strives to provide state of the art cutting edge services responsive to the needs of our students. It is imperative to ensure that we have state of the art instructional materials and equipment as well as our practices to allow all of the students to develop to their full potential. Many assistive technologies cost in excess of $1,500 to over $20,000.
Reaching New Populations:
The program wants to ensure that all appropriate individuals that would benefit from our program are aware of the quality of services. Therefore, it is imperative that marketing practices are implemented to raise awareness across the state about BCCS.
Enhance Assistive Technology:
Improvements in assistive technology is continuous and a challenge for BCCS to maintain the cutting edge instructional materials and equipment. Therefore, BCCS must be aware of new assistive technology to improve services to our students and to identify funding to enable us to purchase this essential technology.
Needs Statement
BCCS's current strategic plan will address enrollment, marketing and financial needs of our program. Our goals reflect the need to reach as many potential students as possible, the provision of cutting edge/responsive services to the students, increase revenues beyond tuition income, conduct research leading to improved practices and training of professionals who will be working to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities.
CEO Statement
BCCS serves as a national model for having a special education school within a University setting. As an integral part of the Lynch School of Education at Boston College the program is able to collaborate with faculty, train university students and conduct research that leads to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities.

Impact
The Impact tab is a section on the Giving Common added in October 2013; as such the majority of nonprofits have not yet had the chance to complete this voluntary section. The purpose of the Impact section is to ask five deceptively simple questions that require reflection and promote communication about what really matters – results. The goal is to encourage strategic thinking about how a nonprofit will achieve its goals. The following Impact questions are being completed by nonprofits slowly, thoughtfully and at the right time for their respective organizations to ensure the most accurate information possible.
1. What is your organization aiming to accomplish?
--
2. What are your strategies for making this happen?
--
3. What are your organization’s capabilities for doing this?
--
4. How will your organization know if you are making progress?
--
5. What have and haven’t you accomplished so far?
--
