Safe, nurturing residential settings for children with developmental disabilities, built around family partnership and individualized care.

FAMILY-CENTERED CARE

A Safe Place to Grow, With Family at the Center

Center for Social Change provides residential services for children with developmental disabilities in settings designed to feel like home. We work closely with families throughout the process, ensuring that each child's placement supports their growth, safety, and connection to the people who love them.

Our approach to childhood residential care recognizes that every child's needs, history, and family circumstances are different. Staff are trained specifically to work with children, including completion of an FBI background check prior to any staff member working with a child in our care, in line with our strict child-safety policies.

CSC has the sensitivity and the skills needed to serve children with multiple and complex disabilities, including those who are medically fragile or have challenging behaviors. We believe that with the right structure, consistency, and compassionate care, every child can experience stability and the opportunity to thrive.
