If the community has an awareness of what the Center does, and if children with special needs are able to participate in daily life activities, then people at large will be much more accepting. Mothers, fathers, foster parents, grandparents and other family support members are viewed as vital to their child's development, as are the teachers and therapists on staff. Parents work with the staff to evaluate their child, set goals and objectives, implement the program to reach these goals and reassess their child's progress. Support meetings offer a time for parents to interact with each other as well as with outside presenters and staff members. This networking provides an outlet for discussion of parental concerns specific to the family's needs.
Children deserve a chance to succeed in our society.
Any gift you can give will make a difference in the lives of our children and their families. However, from the beginning we realized a quality-inclusive intervention program can help all children. Over the years we have provided services and support for families and children with Down syndrome, William's syndrome, Rett syndrome, Cerebral palsy, Autism, P-4 Deletion syndrome, PDD and Apert syndrome as well as children with visual, speech and hearing delays. Our environment provides role modeling from peers and allows the children to reach their full potential.
