North Center For Handicapped Children

North Center has been a dedicated provider of specialized services for children and individuals with developmental disabilities in Chicago since 1968. Founded to serve those who had exhausted other educational and support options, the organization focuses on helping individuals with severe and profound disabilities reach their full potential. Their mission is centered on empowering citizens with significant disabilities to live as independently and fully as possible.

The agency specializes in serving populations with complex needs, including those who are severely and multiply disabled. Because of the high level of care required, North Center utilizes a flexible and creative approach to program design, ensuring that services are tailored to the unique challenges of each individual. This specialized focus allows them to provide adequate support that may not be available through larger, more generalized community agencies.

As a relatively small and nonsectarian organization, North Center maintains the ability to respond quickly and creatively to the evolving needs of their clients. They are committed to continuous growth and expanding their range of services to better support the community. Families seeking highly personalized, adaptive care for children with significant developmental challenges will find a mission-driven environment focused on individualized progress.
