About Us

Founded in 1940, the Achievement Centers for Children serves children, teens and adults with a broad range of disabilities and special needs including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other physical, developmental, neurological and emotional challenges. Our unique, comprehensive service model blends together education and autism services, family support, occupational, speech and physical therapies, and recreation, camp and sports programs to meet the needs of the entire family, and provide the best outcomes and achievements.

Last year the Achievement Centers for Children provided services to over 3,200 individuals at our three locations (Highland Hills, Westlake, and Camp Cheerful in Strongsville), and in childcare centers, schools and homes throughout the community. We provide many of our programs regardless of the family's ability to pay. 

83% of every contributed dollars goes directly to providing critical services to those most in need.
