Serving Children with Disabilities since 1940
History
Established in 1940.
In 1940, in a time when the very word polio triggered alarming visions of young children stricken with debilitating paralysis, along with braces and iron lungs, four Cleveland Rotarians, George Gund, Tris Speaker, Frederick McGuire and William B. Townsend opened the doors of the Achievement Centers for Children, then known as the Society for Crippled Children. They had a vision and hope that every child would have an opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Many of the specific disabilities have changed, but the dedication of the Achievement Centers to Children to children with disabilities and their families has remained constant.
