Project CARE

(Community Access to Resources and Education)

Support needed services and interventions for children with developmental disabilities from low-income families.

Project CARE services are conducted by therapists and consultants at MedMom Institute for Human Development (www.med-mom.com). We also work in partnership with local government units and socio-civic organizations who sponsor services for children and youth with developmental disabilities whose families do not have the financial means to access care.
