Open doors

Your support opens doors for children with special needs and their families

Every year, The Centers for Exceptional Children reaches thousands of people in our community; not just children with special needs, but also their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters. We are uniquely qualified to help these families as they prepare their children to lead more independent, productive, and fulfilling lives.

Each child receives an individualized care plan that addresses their unique physical, learning, and social needs with leading-edge therapies and educational tools. But providing these activities can be expensive, and we cannot do it alone. We are fortunate to work in partnership with the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools and The United Way, but we also rely on the generosity of people like you to help our children and their families thrive.

Private donations help fund:

  • The Infant & Toddler Program which provides the earliest interventions and educational opportunities for children ages birth through 3 years with physical and developmental disabilities or delays

  • The Family Support Network of Greater Forsyth which provides advocacy, education, and support for families of children with special needs

  • Afterschool and Summer Programs that ensure our students have medically safe, educationally stimulating care even when school is not in session

  • Non-traditional enrichment activities that foster growth and independence, such as horticulture therapy, and adaptive art instruction

  • A nurse, teacher assistants, and professional development for all staff

Your financial support is critical in ensuring we have the necessary resources to make these opportunities available for our children and families. Simply put, your donations can change lives.
