Mission
Rainbows United enhances the lives of children with special needs and their families by bringing together community resources and providing customized services.
Find the help you need under the rainbow
At Rainbows we provide many vital services for children with special needs, birth through age 21, and their families. We are on the leading edge of implementing the latest, most effective therapies for children with developmental delays. We are the regional leader in early childhood development, including on-site educational child care and pre kindergarten classes. We are the experts who are called to visit the hospital hours after a baby is born who will face developmental challenges. We are home grown and nationally recognized; a grateful recipient and responsible steward of our contributions and resources. We willingly serve everyone -- the family with the ability to pay for services, and our neighbors with few options and resources.
When the storms of life threaten to wash away a child's smiles and peals of laughter, when a parent's dream of a brighter future is clouded by the confusion of the current crisis, and when the systems that were put in place to help us only offer temporary shelter, look to the rainbow. Look to Rainbows United and discover the ways we bring potential to life.
