Our Services

We offer a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of each individual in our care. From 24-hour skilled nursing care to sensory stimulation to our state approved day school and day training program, our specialized services support the care and development of the whole person.

My son has lived with his second family at Walter Lawson for almost 10 years. When we were forced to place our son, Lawson's welcoming and loving staff, and facility made the decision easy. They truly care for everyone there like their own children, have schooling and activities, and keep parents and family involved at all times. The peace of mind it gives a parent with a severely handicapped child knowing that they are well cared for is amazing. I would give 10 stars!
