CAREERS ABOUT US SUPPORT RAUCH PROGRAMS INDUSTRIES EVENTS BLOG ANNUAL REPORT History, Vision, & Mission Our mission is to support people with disabilities and their families while encouraging a community that acknowledges the value and contribution of all people. History Rauch is proud of its grassroots heritage in southern Indiana. Founded in 1953 by a dedicated group of parents led by Mrs. Leona Receveur, programming began in a church basement with a volunteer teacher. Rauch was the first school for children with developmental disabilities in the state of Indiana and one of the first entity in Southern Indiana to be funded by the WHAS Crusade for Children. Rabbi Joseph Rauch, an original Crusade panelist, was instrumental in helping Rauch obtain funding in 1958 for its Charlestown Road site. Today, Rauch directly serves over 1,400 children, adults, and families from five sites. Service counties in Indiana include Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson. Rauch meets the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charitable Accountability, and is proud to be affiliated with the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (INARF), Metro United Way and the WHAS Crusade for Children, and to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
