If you or someone you know is seeking information regarding eligibility for an individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Lincoln Street Inc. may be just the resource you need. As a Specialized Service Agency, LSI has developed expertise in a variety of areas, in addition to general disability services.

Over time, we have developed expertise to support people who do not use spoken language, as well as those with complex medical conditions, including autism, dementia, eldercare and end-of-life care. We also are recognized for our quality services for youth in transition from school to adult services, including our partnership with Project SEARCH at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Twin State Youth Transition services for New Hampshire students attending SEARCH, Global Campus, and our supported apartment program.

We can help guide you through the eligibility process at the designated agencies, work with you to identify your needs, and help secure the funding necessary for your needed services.
