Sherwood was started in 1957 by eight families of children with disabilities who were excluded from a public education. Together, they created Sherwood to prove that their children not only had the right, but the ability to learn. People with disabilities were segregated and isolated due to the societal expectation that they would be cared for out of the public eye; they were in effect considered 2nd class citizens and deemed incompetent without any rights.
While society has advanced significantly in the past 61 years, current education and employment statistics throughout our state and country are not reflective of a truly inclusive community for people with disabilities.
Sherwood creates an inclusive society where children and adults with disabilities have the ability to live full, independent lives as a part of their community.
Early Intervention:
Sherwood provides therapy and education for infants and toddlers (birth to age three) who have developmental disabilities or are diagnosed with a medical condition known to place a child at risk for delays. Services are provided in the child’s natural environment including the family home, daycare, or other community setting. The ultimate goal is to provide supports to help the child reach their developmental milestones.
Vocational Services:
Sherwood supports high school students and adults with disabilities who are seeking employment. Sherwood strives to not only place people in jobs, but to ensure they are in jobs they love. Employment allows a person with disabilities the opportunity to contribute to society. Additionally, employment leads to increased economic independence, community integration and greater self-worth.
