Society for Rehabilitation

email: info@societyhelps.org
WEBSITE; http://www.societyhelps.org/index.shtml |
The Society
for Rehabilitation is a private nonprofit organization, which has
been responsive to community needs throughout its history. The Society
was established in 1949 to meet the needs of a small group of physically
handicapped school-aged children who were unable to attend regular
school classes. Along with starting a special class for these children,
the Society began to raise funds and organize volunteer efforts
so that needed therapeutic services could be provided in Lake and
Geauga Counties on a frequent and regular basis. The first services
were provided by a speech therapist and physical therapist. An orthopedic
clinic was held every six months.
In 1969 the Society moved to its present location in Mentor, Ohio,
on land donated by the Diamond Shamrock Company. Since that time
services have expanded to include the following: Audiology, Occupational
Therapy, Preschool Education, Social Services, Psychological Services,
Adult Recreation, Parent Support Groups, Preschool Screening Services,
Hearing Aid Dispensing, and Early Intervention Services. A licensed
and qualified professional staff provides these services.
In 1969, five hundred and ten (510) individuals were served by the
Society. During 2000, this number had increased to over five thousand
(5,000).
Although the Society provides prevention, diagnostic, consultative
and treatment programs to people of all ages, children continue
to be the primary emphasis of all of the therapy programs. At this
time, approximately 55% of the Society's clients are under the age
of six years and 75% are below fifteen years of age.
The Society is governed by a Board of Directors and is officially
designated as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. The agency was
previously known as the Lake County Society for Rehabilitation of
Children and Adults, as the Kerr-Brumbaugh Center and before that
the Lake County Society for Crippled Children and Adults.
Donations, the United Way, grants, and fees for services fund the
Society. There is a sliding fee scale, which is based upon financial
need, and no one is denied our services based upon their ability
to pay. |
