Now your donation can make an even greater impact for children with disabilities and their families! Thanks to a generous grant from the Kent H. Smith Charitable Trust, new or increased donations to the Achievement Centers for Children will be matched for a limited time.  If you haven't made a gift to the Achievement Centers in the last two years (2010 and 2011), your gift will also be matched by the Trust. Please consider making a secure online donation or mailing a check today.

We are a Cleveland, Ohio based non-profit organization that provides support, services, and programs that help children with a wide range of physical, emotional, neurological, or developmental disabilities achieve their full potential in life. Comprehensive services to children with disabilities and their families are provided through education and autism services, therapy and our Intensive Therapy Clinic, family support, recreation and adapted sports. Charitable donations help to provide many of these critical services for families, regardless of their ability to pay.

We believe:

• a child with disabilities or special needs is a child first. We focus on abilities and potential rather than limitations. Last year, nearly 4,000 individuals and their families benefited from our programs and services.
• in providing counseling and coordination of services to families to help them deal with the often challenging and emotional times that accompany raising a child with a disability.
• that services provided to children with disabilities early in life can have the greatest impact on their lifelong abilities.
• in providing innovative and effective methods of treatments based on research to gain the greatest outcomes. We are one of the few organizations in the U.S. offering an Intensive Therapy Clinic to children and young adults with limitations in movement as a result of such conditions as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and other diagnoses.
• in sound fiscal management. Out of every dollar donated, $.83 goes directly for the benefit of our clients and to further our mission.
