History

Established in 1953.

Rauch is proud of its grassroots heritage in southern Indiana. Founded in 1953 by a dedicated group of parents led by Mrs. Leona Receveur, programming began in a church basement with a volunteer teacher.

Rauch was the first school for children with developmental disabilities in the state of Indiana and the first entity in Southern Indiana to be funded by the WHAS Crusade for Children. Rabbi Joseph Rauch, an original Crusade panelist, was instrumental in helping Rauch obtain funding in 1958 for its Charlestown Road site.

Today, Rauch directly serves 1,000 children, adults, and families from six sites.
