Welcome to Chileda. We are a home and care center for children and young adults who have developmental disabilities due to closed head injuries, seizure disorders, cerebral palsy, autism, behavioral and genetic liabilities, and physical handicaps.

For over 30 years, the professional staff and volunteers of Chileda have been committed to the progressive education and personal empowerment of children with developmental disabilities. We help our clients to realize their fullest potential and offer hope for a bright future.

Our mission commitment affirms our role as it relates to those who are enrolled here:

All children and young adults receiving supports from Chileda will develop skills in functional adaptive behaviors that lead toward successful community involvement.

Our dedicated staff is licensed to provide care for 42 individuals in an intensive, caring treatment program. We work closely with social service agencies, education and legal professionals, and other concerned individuals to assure that the special needs of each child are met.

Although each plan is individualized, three words serve as the framework for every child's program of care and learning: dignity, respect and compassion. Chileda's 150-person team shares the opinion that all residents have the capacity for growth and development, and that each child has the potential to be a productive member of our community. We also believe that all individuals have the right to be treated fairly and with honor, and that the virtues of kindness and generosity are of immeasurable worth.

All children and young adults receiving supports from Chileda will develop skills in functional adaptive behaviors that lead toward successful community involvement.
