The Boston Family’s Journey and URS’s Role
At United Rehabilitation Services (URS), families like Casey and Jason Boston find invaluable support and hope. Their son Max, diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder at 24 weeks of pregnancy, faces multiple health challenges, including a heart murmur, seizure disorder, and significant motor skill impairments. Now 5 years old and nonverbal, Max requires continuous care, a commitment Casey and Jason understand extends well beyond his early years. URS stands as a steadfast ally for Max and the Boston family, offering support throughout his life.
