Center-Based Program

Whether helping a child with cerebral palsy learn to walk or giving a child who is deaf the gift of sign language, the Special Learning Center is here to help expand the abilities of every child.

To meet the needs of the children in the program, the Special Learning Center provides comprehensive, early intervention services for children with developmental delays and disabilities. Children served in the Special Learning Center program have delays ranging from mild to severe. Children without delays also attend the Special Learning Center and serve as friends and role models to their peers.

The Capital City Area Council for Special Services, which does business as The Special Learning Center is a private, not-for-profit (501 c 3) organization. The agency is governed by a 15-member volunteer Board of Directors. The Board is made up of leaders from the community and SLC parents who share an interest in serving children with special needs.

NON-COMPETITIVE BASEBALL FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Jefferson City Parks and Recreation and the Jefferson City Evening Lions are hosting a non-competitive baseball league in 2010 for area school aged children with physical and developmental disabilities or other conditions that keep them from participating in regular baseball leagues. Every child bats and fields in each inning. Also, a “baseball buddy” will be available to help him/her. The league is designed to help every child, regardless of ability, be successful and have fun!
