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.
