An Early Intervention Agency... with a Lifelong Commitment
The Belle Center provides parents and families with appropriate education and support as early as possible. From parent and child classes that help families learn about their babies’ and toddlers’ needs… to an inclusive preschool for toddlers to pre-kindergarteners… through therapy services for elementary to high school children… The Belle Center is here for our families as long as there is a need.

Our Family-Centered Model
The Belle Center empowers children and parents to meet the unique challenges presented by disabilities and developmental delays. We teach families how to use all the resources available to them to maximize their children’s potential. The Belle Center assists families in coping with the stresses of having a child with special needs through programs and referrals for parents, siblings, and members of their extended families.

Championing Full Inclusion
Everyone associated with The Belle Center believes that all children—with and without disabilities—benefit from inclusion. That’s why we work tirelessly to promote the rights, as well as the expectations, of all children to be fully included in their community. We also help parents learn to advocate for services and opportunities their children need throughout their lives.
