Exceptional Family Center

Exceptional Family Center Exceptional Family Center is committed to helping families of children w/developmental disabilities

Exceptional Family Center was founded in 2007 by a group of parents and professionals, who recognized the need for a center that would be culturally sensitive to the unique needs of our diverse community. Our center was created to provide families, who have children with a developmental disability, with the tools and resources necessary to help their children succeed. What began as an annual conference soon turned into a center, that today, assists over 300 families.
