St Vincents Special Needs Center Inc

The Feroleto Children's Development Center provides a special education school for children with multiple developmental and medical conditions. The school has been certified by the State of Connecticut as an approved private special education program since 1960. It is offered as an alternative placement to school systems for children ages three to twenty-one with multiple developmental and/or medical needs such as cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, seizure disorders, neuro motor diseases and medical conditions requiring nursing support services. The school provided services to approximately 78 students during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Changing Images Work Services addresses the goal of working in the community. St. Vincent's Special Needs Services provides the support, training, job development, and on-site assistance which enable men and women challenged by developmental disabilities to break free of the old stereotypes of "handicapped" workers. For our program participants, it means new opportunities for doing productive, meaningful work, and being paid for it in the business community. Approximately 97 adults were in this program at the end of the fiscal year. The State of Connecticut provided substantially all of the funding for this program.
